J.M Barrie's Peter Pan has delighted children and grown-ups alike for decades. And for good reason. It is a book that makes one feel like a child again, makes your imagination go wild and your heart warm.Now, almost a century later, comes the official sequel, Peter Pan in Scarlet. The only way I can describe how good this book is, is by saying that it was worth the wait.
This is a book that reminds you why you fell in love with reading in the first place. This is a wondrous piece of work that does the impossible. Surpass the original. Author Geraldine McCaughrean manages to write a book that is pure magic. Taking place roughly two decades after the events of the original, the story revolves around Wendy and the lost boys - all grown up now - who have to go back to Neverland to try to stop their dreams about Neverland from leaking into their lives as adults. So back they go, and what they find is a completely changed Neverland, and a transformed Peter Pan, a Peter Pan in Scarlet. Saying anymore would be a crime. Suffice to say, this is a book that will warm your heart, set your imagination on fire, and enchant you no matter how young or old you are. A literary dream come true.
