Publisher's summary

In this magical re-imagining of J. M. Barrie’s classic tale, Michael Darling—the youngest of the Darling siblings and former Lost Boy, now all grown up—must return to the life he left behind to save Neverland from the brink of collapse and keep humanity safe from magical and mythological threats, as well as answer the ultimate question: Where is Peter Pan?

Peter Pan is missing; Neverland is in trouble. For adults, that might not matter all that much, but for children—whose dreams and imagination draw strength from the wild god’s power—the magic we take for granted in the real world is in danger of being lost forever.

Such is the life of a now grown-up Michael Darling.

Michael returned from Neverland with the dream of continuing his adventuring ways by joining the Knights of the Round, an organization built to keep humanity safe from magical and mythological threats. But after a mission gone terribly wrong, he vowed to leave the Knights behind and finally live as a “civilian,” finding order and simplicity as a train engineer, the tracks and schedule tables a far cry from the chaos of his youth.

He hasn’t entered the narrative in years. So what could the Knights need from him now?

Maponos—or how he’s better known, Peter Pan—has gone missing, and Neverland is now on the edge of oblivion. Michael realizes he has no choice and agrees to one last mission. Alongside the young Knight Vanessa and some old friends, Michael embarks on the ultimate adventure: a journey to a fantasy world to save a god. Determined to stop evil, fight for Neverland, and find Maponos, will Michael be able to save the magical and physical world? Or will his biggest fear come true?

The clock is ticking, and in Neverland, that’s never a good sign.

Pan meets mythology meets Hook meets never ending story

A great reimagining of a classic story. Feels like a mashup of Pan, mythology, the movie Hook, and The Never-ending Story

Wish there wasnt so much handwringing.

I wanted to like this story and there definite potential here but the main characters wrung their hands constantly and asked non-stop "what do we do now" in EVERY single situation. it was the most wingeing of any adventure. It got to be like Dora the Explorer where they constantly ask the most obvious questions. Made it hard to enjoy the story. The evil characters were the most enjoyable because they weren't simpering idiots constantly.

Surprisingly Fresh

I’m not really a fan of fantasy, but I always loved Peter Pan as a kid. I liked this fresh take on an old story, a reimagining of a myth.

The story drew me in, the narration was spot on, and the concepts were fun. I’d definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a break from your regular fare (for me, sci fi and non fiction). Enjoy!

A fun future for the Peter Pan story 

Joining Michael and others many years after their adventures, and with real, grown-up problems is both fun and depressing. The story feels like it in event a few too many things, and introduces them into the Peter Pan story, but in general a very enjoyable book.

Fantastic Story!

Seemingly effortlessly the author draws you into the magical world of Peter Pan and paints a beautiful tale never before imagined.

Iit's no Peter Pan…

(As posted in Goodreads)
I'm not sure what it was; I love the book Peter Pan, and children's fantasies are great, but this particular story just didn't grab me. It may have been the attempt to combine childhood fantasy with real life – I dunno…
But it was only okay…
