Straight on till Morning

A Twisted Tale

De: Liz Braswell

Narrado por: Lorna Bennett

What if Wendy first traveled to Never Land...with Captain Hook?

Sixteen-year-old Wendy Darling’s life is not what she imagined it would be. The doldrums of an empty house after her brothers have gone to school, the dull parties where everyone thinks she talks too much, and the fact that her parents have decided to send her away to Ireland as a governess - it all makes her wish things could be different.

Wendy’s only real escape is in writing down tales of Never Land. After nearly meeting her hero, Peter Pan, four years earlier, she still holds on to the childhood hope that his magical home truly exists. She also holds on to his shadow.

So when an opportunity to travel to Never Land via pirate ship presents itself, Wendy makes a deal with the devil. But Never Land isn’t quite the place she imagined it would be. Unexpected dangers and strange foes pop up at every turn, and a little pixie named Tinker Bell seems less than willing to help.

But when Captain Hook reveals some rather permanent and evil plans for Never Land, it’s up to the two of them to save Peter Pan - and his world.

3.5 out of 5 I’d say

Overall it il was good but as I work my way through this series I feel like the middle just drags on and lose interest by the end of it. I did enjoy the narrator.

Wendy

LOVE IT!!! Wendy was the real hero of the whole book! Hook was just a big baby!

Good Story

This book is a fun twist on the Peter Pan story, I liked it and thought it was overall a great story to follow a long with

Great but better for younger audiences

I loved it but for Liz Braswell it wasn’t my favorite. As a kid I loved Peter Pan so it might be an issue that I am not the target audience and I might be too old to appreciate all of the aspects of the novel. There are numerous little odes or references to David Bowie and I love that. The performance is amazing and it is well written. The story just might have been too young for me. I enjoyed the book but I think I will only listen to it once. Other works by Liz Braswell in the Twist Tale series are more my preference. This one is significantly less dark than her other works. This book does have a wonderful message though. Great and obvious themes.

New found Friendship

This book was incredible! You’re on a search for Peter Pan but along the way is a wonderful adventure with friends!

my fave so far

I love all the new characters, personalities and adventures. how strong Wendy grew up to be. beautiful all around story

Good but…

I like it but they made it out like Hook was crazy and I think they could have came up with something better.

Not bad

Not a bad story. Definitely not what I expected it to be. It was a breath of fresh air as far as Disney type stories go

Hmmm…

I think it’s just because I never really cared much for Wendy, but this one so far has to be my least favorite. It’s beautifully written and has its very humorous moments, but Wendy as a character bothered me. It’s a good story though!

Solidly Okay

The writing and narration was good, and the characters spot-on, but it was also slow-paced and placid enough that I lost interest a third of the way through.
