Riassunto

There is one version of my story that everyone knows. And then there is the truth. Once I loved a boy called Peter Pan. Peter brought me to his island because there were no rules and no grownups to make us mind. He brought boys from the Other Place to join in the fun, but Peter's idea of fun is sharper than a pirate's sword. He wants always to be that shining sun that we all revolve around. He'll do anything to be that sun. Peter promised we would all be young and happy forever. Peter will say I'm a villain, that I wronged him, that I never was his friend. Peter Lies.

Su questo libro

Recensione

Henry s writing here is gorgeous, as ever. Bookish Birdport A great new look at the classic J.M. Barrie tale. --Hello Magazine Online

With its multi-layered characters and incredibly twisty plot that still keeps the origin story close at heart, this is the best YA adaptation of any classic tale I've read to date. --Page to Stage

For anyone looking for a story that will captivate you and leaving you begging for more I thoroughly recommend this book. Even if you aren t a fan of Peter Pan (the original book and movie) this origin might just give you reason to revisit this tale with a fresh pair of eyes. --Ramblings of a Writer

It's a book that will have you second guessing and thinking about the original story in a completely new, eye opening and twisted light. --Of Beauty and Nothingness

A must read for absolutely anyone that loves fantasy, horror, or even just fairy tales. --Angel Wings and Petticoats

There was never a dull moment in this book, Christina Henry has done a great job with this book. --Niffler Reads

Christina Henry writes a cracking tale. I couldn t get enough of her writing. --Always Trust In Books

An engaging read which offered a dark and disturbing take on a much loved tale. --Owl on the Bookshelf

It really is a story of growing up, of love and loss and to my mind Henry nails her characters totally. If you've ever read or seen Peter Pan and thought ' something's not right here...' then she reveals exactly what that is - but immediately ups the ante and shows how desperately wrong things can get. --Blue Book Balloon

Lost Boy was an amazing read, it s now one of my favourite retellings and I will definitely be reading it again. --Sugar Quills

Praise for Alice

"Christina Henry shakes the fairy dust off a legend; this Peter Pan will give you chills." --Genevieve Valentine, author of Persona

"Careful, this white rabbit will lead you on a psychotic journey through the bowels of magic and madness. I, for one, thoroughly enjoyed the ride." --Brom, author of The Child Thief

"I loved falling down the rabbit hole with this dark, gritty tale. A unique spin on a classic and one wild ride!" --Gena Showalter, New York Times bestselling author of A Mad Zombie Party

"A dark, delightfully disturbing fall down a rabbit hole of madness and mystery. This is not your mamma's Alice." --R. S. Belcher, author of Brotherhood of the Wheel

"A horrifying fantasy that will have you reexamining your love for this childhood favorite. Smooth, velvety prose blends well with the deliciously complex characters and intricate story line... A world that is nothing like Lewis Carroll ever imagined." --RT Book Reviews (Top pick)

"Takes Lewis Carroll's classic tale and turns it on its ear, giving us a dark and occasionally disturbing story about a young woman who let her curiosity get the better of her." --Vampire Book Club

"A dark and deeply disturbing revisit of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland? Who wouldn't like it?" --Kirkus Reviews

"Henry retains all the surreality of Carroll's tale but makes it even darker, leading readers down a scarier rabbit hole and into a city that's fantastical, scary and frankly more satisfying than Carroll's original... The writing is brisk, the story compulsive... A fun, chilling, exciting, magical read." --The Oklahoman
