DUST

DUST by Kara Swanson

First of all, don't you love a green light on a YA book?! Yay!! Second, I'm going to be finding glitter forever after I sprinkled it all around this book! My 10-year-old may have grabbed a pinch and put it in her forehead and on my nose! Good thing I am one of the ones that loves glitter and don't care if I find a few shimmers for the next year!

What if Neverland was on the brink of destruction? What if Peter Pan, Captain Hook, Tiger Lily, and The Lost Boys had to leave and now were in London? What if the current state of Neverland was Peter Pan's fault and the Lost Boys teamed up with Hook who might actually be good? Is that possible? What if we are past the days of Wendy, her daughter Jane, and now we meet a girl named Claire who has some type of strange skin disease where flakes flutter off of her at the most inconvenient and embarrassing times, yet she is hunted by Hook and Pan. What if, what if, what if?

Dust by Kara Swanson is the first of a two book series retelling the story of Peter Pan in a "slightly" different light. It embodies elements of mystery, adventure, and romance to form a perfect combination YA book. The cherry on top of the whipped cream? The book is squeaky clean! No language, no sex, no cringe-worthy issues! This book will leave you hanging, and all I can say is my copy is on order!
