Peter Pan
by J. M. Barrie
Fantasy, adventure
1902, part of the novel The Little White Bird, by Hodder and Stoughton
Wendy, Michael, and John Darling are whisked away from their boring London life by Peter Pan, the fabled boy who refused to grow up. Peter takes them past the second star on the right to Neverland, a magical island of pirates, mermaids, natives, and the Lost Boys, Peter's troop of wild misfits. Accompanied by Peter's easily offended fairy friend Tinker Bell, the Darlings have many adventures with Peter and the Lost Boys, always on the run from the dreadful pirates and their evil Captain Hook, who's sworn revenge on Peter for the loss of his hand. But when they have stayed so long they begin to forget their own lives, it's up to Wendy to question whether they should leave or stay in Neverland forever.
Rated 11+ for violence towards and by children, violent pirates and animals, sexism towards young girls and women by young boys and adult men, offensive racism towards Native American people groups, neglectful and emotionally immature parents, and consented kidnapping of children by another child.
