darling, wendy

"Wendy Darling isn't sure she's ready to grow up. Growing up means no more nights in the nursery, sharing stories about the heroic Peter Pan with her younger brothers, John and Michael. Then, to Wendy's surprise, Peter Pan himself appears, alongside his fairy companion Tinker Bell--and the pair whisks the children off to Neverland, a magical place where no one has to grow up"--Provided by publisher.

Captain Hook, the immortal pirate of Neverland, escapes through a door in the sky to live in London 22 years later where he runs into a grown-up Wendy Darling who understands the dark shadows cast on both their lives.

"Peter and Wendy's granddaughter Hope Darling finds the reclusive Tinker Bell squatting at the Darling mansion in order to care for the graves of her two lost friends after a love triangle gone awry. As Hope wins the fairy's trust, Tink tells her the truth about Wendy and Peter--and her own role in their ultimate fate. Told in three alternating perspectives--past, present, and excerpts from a book called Neverland: A History written by Tink's own fairy godmother"--OCLC.

Three teenage Victorian-era heroines from literature--Wendy Darling, Dorothy Gale, and Alice Liddell--meet at a special boarding school called Cheshire Crossing, operated by Dr. Ernest Rutherford, where they are supposed to learn how to harness their magical powers and defeat the villains that threaten their respective fantasy lands. Not content to sit in classrooms, the three begin traversing back and forth across universes, with devastating results. They must then rely on a team of unlikely allies to set things right.

"When children start to go missing in the local woods, eighteen-year-old Wendy Darling must face her fears and a past she cannot remember to rescue them in this novel based on Peter Pan"--OCLC.

"What if Wendy first traveled to Neverland with Captain Hook? Sixteen-year-old Wendy Darling's life is not what she imagined it would be. The doldrums of an empty house after her brothers have gone to school, the dull parties where everyone thinks she talks too much, and the fact that her parents have decided to send her away to Ireland as a governess--it all makes her wish things could be different. Wendy's only real escape is in writing down tales of Never Land. After nearly meeting her hero, Peter Pan, four years earlier, she still holds on to the childhood hope that his magical home truly exists. She also holds on to his shadow. So when an opportunity to travel to Never Land via pirate ship presents itself, Wendy makes a deal with the devil. But Never Land isn't quite the place she imagined it would be. Unexpected dangers and strange foes pop up at every turn, and a little pixie named Tinker Bell seems less than willing to help. But when Captain Hook reveals some rather permanent and evil plans for Never Land, it's up to the two of them to save Peter Pan-and his world"--Provided by publisher.

"What happens to Alice when she comes back from Wonderland? Wendy from Neverland? Dorothy from Oz? The three meet here, at Cheshire Crossing--a boarding school where girls like them learn how to cope with their supernatural experiences and harness their magical world-crossing powers. But the trio--now teenagers, who've had their fill of meddling authority figures--aren't content to sit still in a classroom. Soon they're dashing from one universe to the next, leaving havoc in their wake--and, inadvertently, bringing the Wicked Witch and Hook together in a deadly supervillain love match. To stop them, the girls will have to draw on all of their powers . . . and marshal a team of unlikely allies from across the magical multiverse"--Back cover.

Wendy Darling finds herself once again in the arms of charming Peter Pan, the god-child who desires power above all things. Instead of the passion she once had for him, however, this time Wendy's heart burns with a secret: with Hook as her ally, she is there to defeat the evil that lies inside of Peter, the darkness that holds all of Neverland hostage.

Wendy and her brothers are whisked away to the magical world of Neverland by Peter Pan.
