(Hey, look! We wrote this one!)<\/p>\n
Unlike most retellings, which follow the basic plot of the original book, The Wendy<\/em> pays tribute to JM Barrie’s style and the Peter Pan<\/em> characters (and their complex relationships) while offering readers a completely new story. We love writing the Tales of the Wendy series, and we hope you’ll love reading it!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n THE WRONG KIND OF HERO.<\/p>\n \u201cGirls can\u2019t be in the navy! Girls take care of babies! You\u2019re so stupid, you don\u2019t know anything!\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n London. 1783.<\/b>\u00a0Wendy 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\u2019s impossible. Isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n By 1789,<\/b>\u00a0she\u2019s sixteen, old enough to be sold into service as a dressmaker or a servant. When she learns the Home Office is accepting a handful of women into its ranks, she jumps at the chance, joining the fight against the most formidable threat England has ever faced. Magic.<\/p>\n But the secret service isn\u2019t exactly what she had hoped. Accompanied by a reimagined cast of the original\u00a0Peter Pan<\/i>, Wendy soon discovers that her dreams are as far away as ever, that choosing sides isn\u2019t as simple as she thought, and that the only man who isn\u2019t blinded by her gender… might be her nation\u2019s greatest enemy.<\/p>\n \u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50 \u201cBarrie would be proud\u2026\u00a0The Wendy<\/i>\u00a0is pure magic!!\u201d \u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50 \u201cFrom page one right up to the end,\u00a0The Wendy<\/i>\u00a0held me enthralled.\u201d \u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50 \u201cA stunning story! I\u2019m still pinching myself to make sure it\u2019s real!\u201d \u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50 \u201cIn a world that is full of misogyny, Wendy Darling is a total bad-ass.\u201d \u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50 \u201cA sweet blend of timeless characters and new ideas; dramatic tension and a steady touch of humor.\u201d \u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50 \u201cIf you\u2019re looking for a perfect escape \u2026 please, PLEASE treat yourself and pick up this book!

I read it in less than 24 hours, and it was a joy every step of the way. \u2026 I can already tell this is going to become one of my new favorite series.\u201d \u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50 \u201cMy dear reader, if you ever run into this amazing book DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT HESITATE TO GET IT OR READ IT.\u201d \u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50 \u201cAs an avid lover of Peter Pan and all things involved in his beautiful world, it is exceedingly rare that I find adaptations that irrevocably rearrange my feelings for it. At the risk of stating something potentially blasphemous \u2026\u00a0The Wendy<\/i>\u00a0by Erin Michelle Sky and Steven Brown surpasses them all.\u201d
