I'm always wary about books such as this. It's just the legally published fan-fiction of Peter Pan. To be fair, this is much better than the fan-fiction you would find on fanfiction.net. Still, this is a different version of the same story. Yet, you'd think that for the same story, the characters would be, well, themselves. 
 This is my biggest issue with it. I can forgive the fact that Neverland is no longer a magical island that you need to fly to reach. I can forgive that they didn't mention the fact that the crocodile is following Hook and that the beast ate the clock years ago. I can forgive that Neverland didn't have the Neverland feel to it. 
 I cannot forgive, however, the inconsistencies of the characters and the themes. In Peter Pan Peter is a young boy, completely against growing up and all that it entails. He spurns all things that have anything to do with maturity, this includes any relationship with Wendy or Tiger Lily. This is a major part of the original book. Both Wendy and Tiger Lily are frustrated with Peter's boyishness and refusal to allow them into his life as women. Think about it, in the original, he doesn't even know what a kiss is. He mistakes a thimble for a kiss. Then to have him full out kissing Tiger Lily... No, no, it is not okay. Juvenile love is not what Peter Pan is about. 
 Also, Peter's whole personality was missing. He mentions that he has a weak spot for girls. That he can't help but love them. This is not the Peter J.M. Barrie created. This Peter is not Peter and for a book that tells the same story from a different view point, this is a major issue. 
 Tink, also, was out of character. Tinker Bell is known for her temper and short-fuse. She is rude, belligerent, and yet, in her own way, she cares for Peter. This book showed the caring side, but did little to show the rest of Tink. We didn't see the angry Tink who would betray Peter out of jealousy of Wendy. Also, it is implied in the original book, that Tink has been with the Lost Boys for years. However, I can see why the author had her follow Tiger Lily around. If Tink was to narrate, she needed to be close to Tiger Lily. 
 Wendy... had potential. Parts of her I could appreciate, but we didn't see much of her. 
 Tiger Lily was great. I approved highly of her. She was a good character, possibly the only actual character from the original that felt true. I loved her! She had vulnerability and strength, and kept mixing those two things up. She was my favorite part of the book. Well, maybe after Pine Sap. He was really sweet. 
 But, yes, this book was an interesting book and maybe if it hadn't claimed to be a story of Peter Pan and Neverland, I would have given it three or four stars. If it were something entirely different, I would have really liked it, but how it is... I can't get into it. Maybe I'm too attached to the actual story, or maybe I'm just inflexible. Either way, I couldn't.
