Reviews for Sisters of the Neversea
15 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Good modern re-imagining of Peter Pan, but there were a number of parts that just begged for a deeper exploration.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Extremely well done retelling of Peter Pan. Three children, Wendy, Lily and Michael, are from a blended family. Wendy's father and Lily's mother (a Muskegee Creek) married and had Michael. Peter lures Wendy and Michael to Neverland and Lily manages to follow to save them. The book turns the treatment of Native Americans in the original story on its head -- any mention of Injuns is scolded -- and Peter is shown to be a braggart and domineering personality. All of this in an entertaining and nicely imagined package. Highly recommended.
