Publisher's Summary
What if Wendy first traveled to Never Land...with Captain Hook?
Sixteen-year-old Wendy Darling’s life is not what she imagined it would be. The doldrums of an empty house after her brothers have gone to school, the dull parties where everyone thinks she talks too much, and the fact that her parents have decided to send her away to Ireland as a governess - it all makes her wish things could be different.
Wendy’s only real escape is in writing down tales of Never Land. After nearly meeting her hero, Peter Pan, four years earlier, she still holds on to the childhood hope that his magical home truly exists. She also holds on to his shadow.
So when an opportunity to travel to Never Land via pirate ship presents itself, Wendy makes a deal with the devil. But Never Land isn’t quite the place she imagined it would be. Unexpected dangers and strange foes pop up at every turn, and a little pixie named Tinker Bell seems less than willing to help.
But when Captain Hook reveals some rather permanent and evil plans for Never Land, it’s up to the two of them to save Peter Pan - and his world.

Good But Not Great
Wendy is sixteen and feels lost and misunderstood while living in London. She has been holding onto Peter’s shadow for four years, but he hasn’t come to claim it and Wendy is anxious to visit Neverland. Wendy negotiates a trade with Captain Hook that if Hook will take Wendy to Neverland, Wendy will give Hook Peter’s shadow. When Wendy arrives in Neverland, she realizes that maybe it wasn’t a good idea to bargain with a pirate and finds herself trapped on Hook’s ship. Wendy befriends a pirate named Zane and finds a way to continue her journey to find Peter and have her adventure.
So I finished this novel today and I admit I had a hard time getting through this one. I liked it, but it's not my favorite in the whole Twisted Tales series. I thought that some parts dragged on a little bit for my liking and it could have been cut down. I also was not a huge fan of Peter Pan... for some reason his character. This one is not a story of Peter Pan, it is a story of Wendy. Peter Pan only has a kitty bitty part in this book, good thing too because he annoyed me. There were some great ideas, but not enough adventure to be a Peter pan story. The original Peter Pan is cute and about not growing up while this story is about Wendy growing up.
I did enjoy the creatures of Neverland and the setting. And of course, I enjoyed the pirates. I think those who are bigger fans of Peter Pan would enjoy this story far more than I did.
