Peter Pan...this is the first time I have read the YA version and not a Disney book. I also have never seen the movie so had no preconceived thoughts. I think I saw part of a play once that was played by a female dangling on wires, can not remember for sure.

What a fun read though. There is a charm to the tale in its whimsy of flying through the children’s fantasy world of Neverland. I enjoyed the characters Smee, Tootles and yes even Hook! Neverland is a fun place to fly to.
Peter Pan was supposed to never grow up, he is lacking in fear, memory and does not understand change very well, but during the Pirate fights I believe he did change.
It was sad that Wendy lost her ability to fly but Jane is a sweet child and will take her place.

Barrie seems to convey both a sense of wonder and excitement about all the adventures that Peter starts and or invents for himself and the Lost Boys. He gives us such a magical story that I am glad I finally decided to read this version.
