Sisters of the Neversea, by Cynthia Leitich Smith

5.0

This reimagining of the Peter Pan story is fantastic! It is a great story in and of itself, and it also manages to call out all of the misogynistic, anti-Native, pro-colonialism themes in JM Barrie's original story. Lily is Creek and her stepsister Wendy is white. Wendy and their brother Michael set off for Neverland with Peter Pan and the fairy Belle. Lily follows soon after with Peter's Shadow, which was not successfully reattached. They both have very different experiences upon landing -- Wendy with the Lost Boys and Lily with the Native kids. I highly recommended this version for both those who love the original story of Peter Pan and for those who despise it. It definitely contains food for though as well as an excellent adventure. For grades 4 & up.
