Darling

By K. Ancrum
Darling by K. Ancrum digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

A teen girl finds herself lost on a dangerous adventure in this YA thriller by the acclaimed author of The Wicker King and The Weight of the Stars—reimagining Peter Pan for today’s world.

On Wendy Darling’s first night in Chicago, a boy called Peter appears at her window. He’s dizzying, captivating, beautiful—so she agrees to join him for a night on the town.

Wendy thinks they’re heading to a party, but instead they’re soon running in the city’s underground. She makes friends—a punk girl named Tinkerbelle and the lost boys Peter watches over. And she makes enemies—the terrifying Detective Hook, and maybe Peter himself, as his sinister secrets start coming to light. Can Wendy find the courage to survive this night—and make sure everyone else does, too?

Acclaimed author K. Ancrum has re-envisioned Peter Pan with a central twist that will send all your previous memories of J. M. Barrie’s classic permanently off to Neverland.

Beaming Face with Smiling Eyes“I loved this book. One of my favorite spin offs are the Peter Pan ones, because Peter can be portrayed as a sweet character or a villain if you dig deep enough. And this book dug deep.”

“I enjoyed this Peter Pan re-telling. Nothing super special or unique in my opinion but it was a solid read!”
“GOOD GOD !!!”
“This was such an interesting spin on the original Peter Pan story. Wendy Darling moves to Chicago and in her first night, she discovers her window doesn’t stay shut. Telling her parents, they promise they’ll get around to fixing it. When they go out for a night, she discovers a strange boy standing in her room, Peter. He convinces her to go out on the town for the night. Only that’s when the story picks up. She meets Tinkerbelle, Peter’s friend who tries to warn her to go home. Some of the familiar characters from the original Peter Pan are reimagined in this story - Detective Hook, Crocodile, and Tinkerbelle. The story twists and turns and and pulls the reader in from the first few pages. Without spoiling this too much, I love the way Wendy’s mother was involved in this story. I was so disappointed when the book came to the end but I absolutely loved it and how K. Ancrum write this. Highly recommend this retelling of Peter Pan!!!”
“Very interesting retelling of Peter Pan.... it started a little slow and it took a while for me to get into the story but i really enjoyed the ending so i'm glad i kept reading !”
