What if Wendy first traveled to Never Land . . . with Captain Hook?

Discover a new side of Peter Pan in this action-packed, girl-power reimagining of the classic Disney film—now available as a graphic novel!


Sixteen-year-old Wendy Darling’s life is not what she imagined it would be. After nearly meeting her hero, Peter Pan, four years earlier, she still holds on to his shadow—and the hope that his magical home truly exists.

So when the chance to travel to Never Land arises, Wendy makes a deal with Peter’s nemesis in exchange for passage. But the Never Land she discovers isn’t the wondrous place she imagined: Peter is nowhere to be found, and his pixie friend Tinker Bell refuses to speak to her.

Still, when Captain Hook reveals some evil and rather permanent plans for Never Land, it’s up to Wendy and Tink to save Peter Pan—and his world.

Liz Braswell spent her childhood reading fairy tales and going on adventures with her cat in the forest. She majored in Egyptology at Brown University (and, yes, she can write your name in hieroglyphs). After spending the next ten years producing video games, Liz began her career as a full-time writer with a retelling of Snow White called Snow, followed by Rx and the Nine Lives of Chloe King series. She is also the author of Stuffed, Stuffed 2: Into Darkness, and several Twisted Tales, including A Whole New World, Once Upon a Dream, As Old as Time, Straight On Till Morning, Unbirthday, and What Once Was Mine. The New York Times best-selling author lives in Brooklyn with a husband, two children, a cat, and four coffee trees—one of which has already produced a rather tolerable espresso. You can contact her via email at Me@LizBraswell.com, or Twitter and Instagram @LizBraswell.
