Chronicle In Favor Of Books Stars (Wendy Darling #1)
Wendy Darling has a perfectly agreeable life with her parents and brothers in wealthy London, as well as a budding romance with Booth, the neighborhood bookseller’s son. But while their parents are at a ball, the charmingly beautiful Peter Pan comes to the Darling children’s nursery and—dazzled by this flying boy with god-like powers—they follow him out of the window and straight on to morning, to Neverland, an intoxicating island of feral freedom. As time passes in Neverland, Wendy realizes that this Lost Boys’ paradise of turquoise seas, mermaids, and pirates holds terrible secrets rooted in blood and greed. As Peter’s grasp on her heart tightens, she struggles to remember where she came from—and begins to suspect that this island of dreams, and the boy who desires her, have the potential to transform into an everlasting nightmare.Describe Books During Stars (Wendy Darling #1)

I am not actually a fan of Peter Pan. I never liked the idea of Neverland. As a child it didn't make any sense as to why there would be an island in which no one aged. Even at this point in my life I like aging. I probably would've enjoyed the movie more had I
