April BOTM - Romance, Fantasy, Fairy Tales - Young Adult

Wendy Darling's course is charted. Suffocated by her domineering aunt and expected to marry for status, the only place she can truly breathe is the theatre. When she witnesses Peter Neverland making his debut, her world opens to infinite possibilities. The moment Peter steps into the stage, the boy who never intended to grow up discovers his true purpose. Surrounded by a humble troupe of players, Peter's so happy he could crow. Until the starry-eyed girl watching rapturously from the balcony alters his orbit. In that hollowed space of universal dreams, Peter and Wendy fall in love. But when Wendy's aunt plots to separate the two, it send them on different trajectories that will put an ocean between them. For Peter and Wendy's love to conquer the stars, it will take more than pixie dust. It will require the Neverlands, which are always seeking to break through, to perform a miracle.

Set in early 20th century London and America, the story is interwoven with historical people and places connected to J.M. Barrie's original play and world.
