THE WRONG KIND OF HERO. London. 1783. Wendy Darling is an orphan, living in an overcrowded almshouse, ridiculed for believing in a future she can never have. More than anything in the world, she wants to be the captain of a ship. But that's impossible. Isn't it? "Barrie would be proud... The Wendy is pure magic!!" TeacherofYA Book Blog

Listening to this book and cant help and think this is what Peter Pan would be like if the Darling siblings were on Captain Hook's side.

I really like the use of language - clever to imitate the style of J M Barrie, but with a clever retelling twist.
I probably won't continue with the series as I didn't feel that drawn to Wendy and got a bit fed up of men falling at her feet!
Still enjoyed it though.

I liked this twist on Peter Pan. It was fun and the characters were great. I loved Wendy being no nonsense and speaking her mind. I love that she didn‘t let things stand in her way and did as she wanted and needed to even though she was constantly underestimated.
I wish my library had the second book available on Libby.

I FRICKIN LOVE THIS ONE.

This is the best kind of retelling, that takes everything you thought you knew and turns it on its head. Everyone you know & love(or loathe) is here but thats where the familiarity ends. Wendy Darling has enlisted to defend England against the greatest threat, magic. Along w her brothers in arms John and Michael, and her faithful dog Nana, she is tasked to watch for the Everlost, who steal children in the night.

Martyn_J_Pass Love that cover! 5y
xxjenadanxx @Martyn_J_Pass me too and the cover for the second one is just as good! 5y

Audiobooks were a difficult sell for me, but thankfully 4 or 5 years ago I got over my preconceived notions. Now they help fill out my reading life. Between odd jobs, life, & more jobs audiobooks are necessary for making the tasks easier & less of a "hey you're robbing me of precious reading time" feels. Multitasking for the win, especially for jobs that require 5 AM wake up & work lifestyle! I can't believe I hung out laundry today #24in48 ?⬇️.

LitDrivenGirl I've been a long time Scribd user, through its many business models. It's in my favorite version right now, all you can eat for 1 monthly fee as long as you don't surpass the undisclosed "read too many" limit (it's a mystery). We live in a wonderful time to get our reading through so many formats & of the á la carte variety. I use Libro.fm, Hoopla, & occasionally purchase from Google Books too. A few favorites I even have on CD ?? #audiobooks 5y
Molly_the_mezzo I‘ve recently gotten on board for much the same reasons, but what I can‘t reconcile is how much longer it takes than if I were reading it myself. It has NEVER taken me ten hours to read a cozy mystery, lol. 5y
LitDrivenGirl @Molly_the_mezzo yes and if the narrator isn't great then it seems to DRAG ON AND ON 😅. It helps to adjust the speed on the audiobook though for me. 5y

"So you cannot say today what you might or might not do tomorrow. That much is certain.".
Interesting premise for a girl-power retelling of Peter Pan. It falls a bit short of expectations though...both in pace and plot evolution.

I enjoy a good retelling of a classic, but they can all to often reshape without adding anything of value to the story or characters. That is not the case with The Wendy. The storyline was intriguing and different enough to make me curious without taking anything away from the original tale. The Wendy herself is actually far preferable to me to the original, who does not love a strong female protagonist? Looking forward to the sequel!

I meet a lot of authors in my travels and it seems like the lesser known authors are either:

A) Awesome person, subpar writing.
B) Great book, kind of a dick.

But once in a while you find an author who is a blast to talk to AND has a freaking amazing book. @DragonAuthors are totally that rare breed of awesome. I'm blown away by all the swag and thoughtfulness they put into this package and look forward to turning more people onto their work.

DragonAuthors HAHAHAHA omg you crack me up. Did you like the chalk??? When I found those glass bottles for the boxes, Steven was like, "Uh... should we really be shipping GLASS bottles in these book boxes?" And I was like, "But... glass bottles! We put the blue chalk in them! See? In case of emergency! And they read the book, and then they get it!!! Glass bottles!!!!!" So he let me have that one. ??? 6y
GondorGirl @DragonAuthors My husband was very confused when I opened it and started cackling... it's probably the most seemingly random piece of swag I've ever gotten and I'm thrilled with it! 😂 6y
DragonAuthors @GondorGirl LOL! Well, use it carefully, as I'm sure you're aware. 😝 6y

4.5 star 💫 This Peter Pan retelling has all the original characters but with an exciting twist. Full of feminist undertones, pirates and magic, there is really nothing more you could ask for. This book is brilliant. I loved every second of it.

Swiftly into my next read which shall be The Wendy by Erin Michelle Sky and Steven Brown. It‘s an epic Peter Pan retelling with a feminist twist and it‘s available now at all good bookstores. As a Peter Pan fanatic I love a retelling of the wonderful book and am yet to find one I don‘t love.

Can you recommend any Peter Pan retellings I may have missed? 😁 #peterpan #retelling #bibliophile #bookaddict #booklover #bookblogger #fantasy

ravenlee I can't vouch for content but the tagged book is a YA steampunk Peter Pan retelling. I came across it in a sample book, and it didn't catch my interest - but I'm not into steampunk. So, maybe? 6y
