Review
"Worthy homage, all in all, as well as a strong, poignant tale in its own right." Kirkus Reviews
Review
"McCaughrean captures the excitement of the original story without the overly precious Victorian glorification of childhood." School Library Journal
Review
"McCaughrean's story, with its whimsical, delicious language and wildly creative scenes will capture readers who know and love Barrie's original." Booklist
Review
"Adventure follows adventure as life goes on in Neverland, but a Neverland unlike the one the children remember from days gone by. Details of the story are for reading, and the reader will surely embrace the magic of Peter Pan and his scarlet coat." Children's Literature
