Peter Pan

We all know the story of Peter Pan. The boy that looses his shadow in Wendy, Micheal, and John's nursery. We all know that he came back to retrieve his shadow and when soap didn't get it to stick he started to cry waking Wendy. We know that after that, he taught them to fly and guided them to Neverland. But did you know that Tinker Bell tricked the lost boys into shooting Wendy and when they did they thought they got her...but she was saved by a kiss (a button) that Peter gave her? Did you know that the mermaids where pretty stuck up and that Peter Pan is annoyingly cocky? Did you know that Smee the pirate was more lovable than anyone could have thought? Did you? NO! Well, then you need to read the book, because I left a lot more stuff out!

What a great story. I have always enjoyed the different versions of Peter Pan in the movies, but reading the book has become a favorite. It is written in such a fun way, it is almost as though it is written for adults but through the eyes of a child or something. Neverland is made up of all our dreams in one...such a fun story. Another plus is that it is pretty short, so you don't have to dedicate ALOT of time to it! So, if you have a moment, sit down and read it...you will find yourself smiling at some parts, gasping at others, and giggling out loud. It really is that fun.

Favorite Quote: After giving short summaries of a few of the adventures that the lost boys had gone on while Wendy, Michael and John where there the narrator said, "Which of these adventures shall we choose? The best way will be to toss for it. I have tossed, and the lagoon has won. This almost makes one wish that the gulch or the cake or Tink's leaf had won. Of course I could do it again, and make it best out of three; however, perhaps fairest to stick to the lagoon."
