Illustrated by
Scott Fischer.
In McCaughrean's authorized virtuoso new Peter Pan story, the densely patterned adventures unfold in a headlong rush. Barrie's old story is knit into the new, and backstories are revealed. What makes this book worth savoring is the rhythmically perfect prose, each sentence metrically balanced--deliciously edible. McCaughrean's is an exquisitely rendered, magical return to Neverland.
