Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
From the national bestselling author of Alice comes a familiar story with a dark hook—a tale about Peter Pan and the friend who became his nemesis, a nemesis who may not be the blackhearted villain Peter says he is…
There is one version of my story that everyone knows. And then there is the truth. This is how it happened. How I went from being Peter Pan’s first—and favorite—lost boy to his greatest enemy.
Peter brought me to his island because there were no rules and no grownups to make us mind. He brought boys from the Other Place to join in the fun, but Peter's idea of fun is sharper than a pirate’s sword. Because it’s never been all fun and games on the island. Our neighbors are pirates and monsters. Our toys are knife and stick and rock—the kinds of playthings that bite.
Peter promised we would all be young and happy forever. Peter lies.

“This one didn’t land with me. The plot was fast paced and kept my attention throughout. However, I never got attached to any of the characters and the twist and ending seemed predictable. I will say, this book does its job to really make the reader dislike Peter by the end of it.”

“I don't like Peter Pan. Not the original, and not any of the animated or live action remakes that have been exhausted over the last decade. It's boring at best, problematic at worst, and it's 2023 so please stop remaking Disney productions, please, I'm so tired-
I did really love this book. To the point that I'm probably going to reread it shortly after finishing this rewrite. There's so much to like. It's interesting and chilling throughout, so if you like your classic stories with a dark, action-packed twist, I would highly recommend this book.”
