Publisher Description

What if Peter Pan was a girl?

 

Even as the leader of the Lost Girl's tribe, Pandora can't stay out of mischief. She and her rebel fairy companion, Tinkerbeau, harass the queen and her pirates, as well as sneak off to the forbidden human realm any chance they get.

 

When a mysterious blight falls upon the island, leaving all the tribes hungry, Pan knows she must procure the one thing she can't get in Neverland: a human boy. In the human realm, Wendell is a mighty hero, but in Pan's world, he barely knows how to fly.

 

As the Pirate Queen's curse grows stronger, the boy's presence in Neverland becomes more dangerous to Pan and the Lost Girls. But Pan can't cut ties from the bond she and Wendell have formed. They must find a new way to break the curse or Pan will lose both her home and her love.

“Awhile back, I received a copy of Lost (as well as a copy of Strung) from the author (like. . . Right before Covid started. Life got a little crazy). It took me a lot longer than intended to get to this, but I'm very glad I kept it on my to-read list! I LOVE fairy tale retellings - the blend of the familiar with the unexpected is always a welcome reading experience! I loved how the characters were gender bent - Pandora is given all the wildness and freedom of Peter Pan, while still having characteristic that defined her outside of the traditional Peter Pan narrative. I also appreciated that the tribes were created in a much more culturally sensitive way than the original; it was much better done with fantasy elements than with the stereotyping of native American people present in the original tale. I loved that Roberts brought in mythical creatures especially! "Wendy's" (Wendell's) background knowledge of Neverland was well matched to his character - a modern teenage boy is far more likely to be invested in video games that bedtime stories. My least favorite part was the fade-to-black scene. I'll read books with these but it's pushing the boundaries of what I'm okay with. Additionally, it felt like Pan and Wendell took their relationship really far really fast; I realize they're saving the world together and all, but, they cover all the ground from meeting to full-on physical romantic involvement terribly fast. Kissing and cuddling and hand holding are much more what makes sense to me for how long they'd been acquainted, but, I'm not the writer! Overall, this was a fabulously engaging retelling of Peter Pan! I'm very glad to have won a copy.”
“I'm always jumping on the chance to read a retelling of a story that I love. And I was into the story for sure but overall I can't say it was the best I've ever read. I do have to admit I'm a bit hard to please when it comes to retellings like this one, especially related to Peter Pan, so this is definitely a personal thing and I'm sure a lot of other readers might enjoy it a little bit more. In ways Lost was a very different read in contrast to the original story of Peter Pan (of which I'm a huge fan.) But there were also a lot of the same elements that we all know and love from the original. It was a genderbent story so instead of Peter Pan we have Pandora a.k.a. Pan. Instead of the Lost Boys there's the Lost Girls. Instead of Tinker Bell we have Tinkerbeau. It goes on like this for a couple of more of the characters. But I think you all get it now. And what can I say? I absolutely loved this concept. Another possitive thing is that at 200 pages (according to the Amazon page of the book) it's not a very long read. At least not to me. So I finished it fairly quickly. It was quite the page-turner too and I had a hard time putting my Kindle down to stop reading because I always wanted to know what Pan was going to do or say next. I really liked her. Maybe even more so than a male Pan? Lost by Constance Roberts is a unique and modern twist on the story everyone knows at least a little bit. It's definitely worth checking out!”
