A boy who calls himself Peter Pan. In partnership with We Need Diverse Books
"While Smith wields Barrie' s storyteller voice, writing from a head-hopping omniscient voice that addresses readers directly, this is less a retelling and more a rebuttal, critiquing the problematic aspects of the classic-often quite overtly-and the consequences of such harmful influences are explored over the course of much action, adventure, and magical island exploration. An exciting journey in its own right and a necessary "recommend-along" for patrons seeking Barrie' s original. " -- Booklist (starred review) Short chapters, plenty of action, and the wry voice of the omniscient narrator help make this title, with its themes of gender equity, Native pride, and environmentalism, accessible. . . A refreshing adventure that breathes new life into a classic text. -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Socially conscious readers may most appreciate Smith' s supportive portrayal of blended families and Native youth, but any reader looking for a brilliant, suspenseful fantasy adventure should also find Sisters of the Neversea thrilling and tremendously fun.
