This was super. A dark re-telling of a classic story, but from a very different perspective. Totally convincing, well-plotted and frankly, makes Peter Pan far more believable as a character (though seriously creepy as a result) than the classic tale. Also gives depth to other aspect of the traditional story, like the enmity between Pan and the pirates, as we see them. Although ostensibly a children's/young adult book, NOT a book for young children by any means, nor for those likely to be haunted by bad dreams, but wow, such an amazing read and such an imagination the author has. I'm almost scared to try her retelling of Alice in Wonderland, as that's a lot creepier to start off with!
