Gwendolyn Jane Mary Darling Carlisle is a human girl whom Peter Pan brings to Never Land, and a descendant of Wendy Darling. She lives with her parents and grandmother in the same house that Wendy had lived in so long ago. She appears in the book "Fairies and the Quest for Never Land". Your suggestion requires someone who can speak and sign. What do I do if my hands are busy feeding myself?> Mild spoilers? It’s evident from the blurb) Are Peter and Wendy the same person in this story? That was my understanding, but the lost boys knew her name as well. I don't want to say too much because I went into this book absolutely blind (I only knew that a. Peter is a trans MC and b. it's a retelling of Peter Pan) and I enjoyed it so much that way. She gave a small nod but a skeptical look, or was that just her normal face? She was always difficult to read.

Hook glanced listlessly at the treasure map on his knee, lifting his lacy cuff so he could see the twist of the path. East, he said, and the party veered east. Thud Butt is a member of the Lost Boys who accepts the possibility that Peter Banning may be Peter Pan from the start, and strikes up a friendship with him. At the end of the film, with Rufio having been slain by Hook before he got eaten by a temporary revived crocodile, Peter chooses Thud Butt as the Lost Boys' new leader. He is played by Raushan Hammond The ending, on the other hand, was awesome. It's not a perfect ending, but it's still happy. Those are my favorite kind of endings. The strongest element of this book was Peter as a character. I never thought I would see a trans retelling of Peter Pan, but this did an incredible job of it. That is almost definitely due to the fact that this is ownvoices. Peter had the bravado and need to jump into danger that rang true to the character, but he was also given a story about identity and the his journey to claim his role as Peter. It was excellently done and gave me a whole new appreciation of the character, who I will forever see as trans.

As soon as I saw that Peter Darling followed a transgender Peter Pan, 10 years after the story we all know, with a possible Pan/Hook romance, I was sold. Peter Darling has the same problem for me as Every Heart A Doorway: it feels like the beginning and end of a five-star book. There's no middle; Peter's character arc goes from one place to another place in the blink of an eye. There's some development to the story and character arcs, but not nearly enough. Same with the romance. While it was absolutely sweet, these two did not get as much development as I'd hoped. Clever is the best descriptor of this lovely little book. In the simplest terms, it's the story of a boy realizing he's no longer a boy. Peter realized he was waiting for some kind of probing curiosity in return-some remark on what Peter sounded like, or worse on his body-but James’s only encroachment on the subject was to say, “Your shirt has seen better days. Would you like one of mine? Assuming all my clothes haven’t been eaten by moths.” Update 30/3/19: Rin and I are reading this again more than two years later and I'm emo because I loved this book so much and also it was our first BR ever and we've been friends ever since and maybe I'm crying ANYWAY I LOVE PAN/HOOK WITH ALL MY HEART

Hook squeezed the hilt of his sword, his fingers trembling with disbelief. " Pan." No wonder he hadn’t recognized the man; he had been a boy when last Hook had seen him. It had been a decade at least, and he had grown up after all. All that remained of the child Hook had known was the cruelty of his smile.peters character is? ruined? there is just 0 feeling of the original story besides surface level. i’m totally fine with retellings that change the premise (darling, lost in the neverwoods) but something about this just felt like it ruined the message, feeling, and characterization of the story of peter pan. Wendy III - the oldest of the siblings and the closest to Peter. She is the most mature among all the children and often takes on the role of mother

Armus - a former friend of Peter who was once a Lost Kid, but turned against him when he mistakenly thought Peter abandoned him. He has weak eyes that cannot stand the daylight

He felt a hard conk against his head. Looking down a half eaten apple landed at Peter's feet. Thank god, the cupcake would have been a nightmare cleaning out of his hair in the school bathroom.
