Summary

"There are moments of true tenderness, hope, and grief in this haunting, magical tale, and the narrator makes it all convincing. Teenage listeners will be drawn into this enchanting story." -- Booklist, starred review

When children start to go missing in the local woods, a teen girl must face her fears and a past she can't remember to rescue them in this atmospheric YA novel, Lost in the Never Woods from the author of Cemetery Boys.


It’s been five years since Wendy and her two brothers went missing in the woods, but when the town’s children start to disappear, the questions surrounding her brothers’ mysterious circumstances are brought back into the light. Attempting to flee her past, Wendy almost runs over an unconscious boy lying in the middle of the road...

Peter, a boy she thought lived only in her stories, asks for Wendy’s help to rescue the missing kids. But, in order to find them, Wendy must confront what’s waiting for her in the woods.

This was an impulse buy - and I have buyer remorse.

Lost in the Never Woods is a reworking of Peter Pan and had the potential to be amazing. Unfortunately it is not.

The story is mediocre at best. It should be fun, fast-paced and full of action - just like the original Peter Pan. Instead it has a lacklustre storyline, a dull heroine and very little of the real essence of Pan - magic.

Worst of all, however, is the narrator. Avi Roque seems to stumble through this reading with a blocked up stuffy nose, and appears unable to run more than a few words together - often cutting up sentences in a most annoying way.

All in all - this is a spectacular disappointment. Both the author and narrator managed to suck all the magic out of a favourite childhood tale.

Regretting impulse buy
