I'm never going to see Peter Pan the same way again after this book, that's for sure. Christina Henry pulled the Disney tale apart to show that Peter Pan isn't just childish, but how selfish he is when he takes boys away to Neverland and why. It's a whole new level of creepy. That said:… Continue reading Lost Boy by Christina Henry
