Peter is quick, daring, and full of mischief—and like all boys, he loves to play, though his games often end in blood. His eyes are sparkling gold, and when he graces you with his smile you are his friend for life, but his promised land is not Neverland. Fourteen-year-old Nick would have been murdered by the drug dealers preying on his family had Peter not saved him. Now the irresistibly charismatic wild boy wants Nick to follow him to a secret place of great adventure, where magic is alive and you never grow old. Even though he is wary of Peter's crazy talk of faeries and monsters, Nick agrees. After all, New York City is no longer safe for him, and what more could he possibly lose?
About Authors
Gerald Brom (born March 9, 1965), known professionally as Brom, is an American gothic fantasy artist and illustrator, known for his work in role-playing games, novels, and comics.
Brom was born March 9, 1965, in Albany, Georgia. As the son of a U.S. Army pilot he spent much of his early years on the move, living in other countries such as Japan and Germany (he graduated from Frankfurt American High School), and in U.S. states including Alabama and Hawaii. Brought up as a military dependent he was known by his last name only, and now signs his name as simply Brom: "I get that asked more than just about any other question. It's my real name, my last name. I got called Brom all the time as a kid, and it just stuck."
Brom has been drawing and painting since childhood, although he had never taken any formal art classes. Brom cites the work of Frank Frazetta, N.C. Wyeth, and Norman Rockwell as influences on his style.

Альтернативна історія Пітера Пена. Сюжет розповідає про темну сторону звичної всім нам історії, про те, як і для чого Пітер Пен заманював дітей на свій острів, і про те, що пірати не є найбільшим злом... Книга написана молодіжним сленгом, іноді дуже прямим, що прямо влучає в лоб читачеві, особливо вражає детальність опису почуттів і емоцій героїв. Як приємний бонус, книга містить красиві ілюстрації, які малює сам автор книги, і вони воістину чудові! Так, історія вийшла похмурою і щасливого кінця в ній ви не дочекаєтеся, але кінцівка вас здивує.
Це темний ретелінг Пітера Пена, жорстокий та кривавий. Перша половина книги була захопливою та цікавою, але чим далі тим ставало нудніше і дочитувати було складно. При цьому нічого погано про книгу не можу сказати, але мене для мене вона не спрацювала: герої не зачіпили, в половину історії неможливо було повірити, темність кудись розгубилась разом з глибиною - магії не сталося.
Дуже сподобалась книга????. Дуже гарний переклад, було приємно читати саме цю книгу, раджу прочитати усім. Чи будуть інші книги Брома?
Це чудова книга, надіюсь і решту книг Брома перекладуть
