While their Mom studies for the bar exam, Fergus and Clover go to stay with their grandmother.  What their mother never told them is that they are the great-great grandchildren of the original Wendy Darling.  So when Peter Pan comes to take them to Neverland, they are unprepared.  Fergus is gung-ho to go, but Clover is worried that her autistic younger brother will get in trouble, so she reluctantly joins them. Clover and Fergus bring their own dangers to Neverland, and every creature on the island will need to help to save the day.

Adrian takes the Peter Pan story back to its innocent beginnings.  Fergus’s growth is wonderful and Clover learns so much too.  Some delightful secrets are saved for the very end.
