Peter & Wendy will pull at your heartstrings!

Please note...this is an extended trigger-free version of Ms. Montgomery's Losing Neverland.

Just like with Losing Neverland Maxine Mitchell and Joe Arden knock this one out of the park. They are in essence the same story but there are slight differences between their performances in the two. Maxine does a phenomenal Tinker Bell and we see/hear more of her in Lost Boy vs Losing Neverland. Joe's Hook has slightly more aggression in his voice at certain points in Losing Neverland vs Lost Boy but his Peter voice.....probably my favorite in Lost Boy (it is my favorite of the two after all). These two have truly taken these stories to the next level with their narration.

This retelling is nothing like all the others I have heard about. There is a uniqueness to the plot, a twist that the reader finds out in the very beginning....which is not Evelyn's normal writing style. So once you know the big secret you in turn get the beautiful tale of how it came to be. Where things went so wrong between these two seventeen years ago.

You are taken to Neverland in chronological order with Lost Boy vs Losing Neverland that alternated between past and present. By the author taking us back to the beginning with them the reader is able to feel so much more connected to present day Peter and Wendy. They are each other's first loves....each other's only loves. They experience all of their firsts together. While this is a slow burn the author gives the reader plenty of tension build up and little sprinkles of spice here and there.

Along with Peter and Wendy there are familiar characters that play a part in their story....Tinker Bell, Tiger Lily, John, and numerous Lost Boys. Of course this wouldn't be an Evelyn Montgomery book if there weren't a few more plot twists thrown in the mix to have you guessing and/or questioning. Her writing, as always, flows poetically across every page. I do not know how she manages to continuously give her readers books that are written the way they are.
