Unexpected dangers and strange foes pop up at every turn, and a little pixie named Tinker Bell seems less than willing to help. But Never Land isn't quite the place she imagined it would be. So when an opportunity to travel to Never Land via pirate ship presents itself, Wendy makes a deal with the devil. After nearly meeting her hero, Peter Pan, four years earlier, she still holds on to the childhood hope that his magical home truly exists. Wendy's only real escape is in writing down tales of Never Land. The doldrums of an empty house after her brothers have gone to school, the dull parties where everyone thinks she talks too much, and the fact that her parents have decided to send her away to Ireland as a governess-it all makes her wish things could be different. What if Wendy first traveled to Neverland.with Captain Hook? Sixteen-year-old Wendy Darling's life is not what she imagined it would be. The problem is, no one believes Clark, and when his mom tries to rid the house of stuffed animals to try to get him to grow up, she's actually putting Clark's dad and the entire household in mortal peril.

Clark's dad is under attack by a nefarious, shadowy monster called a King Derker, and only Clark's stuffies are able to fight him off. Sometimes they move around in the night and sometimes in the morning they look a little worse for wear, as if they've engaged in battle. But Clark can't shake the feeling that his stuffed friends are important, even necessary. He's almost eleven! Bullies target him at school while his mother tries increasingly un-subtle ways to wean him off his toys and introduce more 'normal' interests. Everyone thinks that Clark is too old to still play with stuffed animals. You have been chosen to join us, in the dark and in the light, in love and in cloth, in safety and in danger.

Straight on till morning liz braswell
