Books from the Backlog #141

 

Books from the Backlog is a fun way to feature some of those neglected books sitting on your bookshelf unread.  If you are anything like me, you might be surprised by some of the unread books hiding in your stacks. This is a fun meme hosted by Carole's Random Life in Books!

Magic can do a lot—give you flight, show you mermaids, help you taste the stars, and… solve the budget crisis? That's what the grown-ups will do with it if they ever make it to Neverland to steal its magic and bring their children home.

However, Gwen doesn't know this. She's just a sixteen-year-old girl with a place on the debate team and a powerful crush on Jay, the soon-to-be homecoming king. She doesn't know her little sister could actually run away with Peter Pan, or that she might have to chase after her to bring her home safe. Gwen will find out though—and when she does, she'll discover she's in the middle of a looming war between Neverland and reality.

She'll be out of place as a teenager in Neverland, but she won't be the only one. Peter Pan's constant treks back to the mainland have slowly aged him into adolescence as well. Soon, Gwen will have to decide whether she's going to join impish, playful Peter in his fight for eternal youth… or if she's going to scramble back to reality in time for the homecoming dance.

I added The Neverland Wars by Audrey Greathouse to my TBR pile in September of 2016 as I always love a good Peter Pan retelling in some fashion! I love it when Peter's the good guy and looking to be a teen and fall in love, I love it when he ends up being the villain and Hook is the hot tortured hero! Lol! So I definitely still want to read this one and I see that it's a trilogy but I know I do not have the other two books so hopefully if I like this one enough I can still track down those other two! That's always my fear when I wait too long to pick up a book and not buy the sequels with it! So as you might have noticed, I have rectified that over the years! Lol.
