Book Description
From the national bestselling author of Alice comes a familiar story with a dark hook—a tale about Peter Pan and the friend who became his nemesis, a nemesis who may not be the blackhearted villain Peter says he is… There is one version of my story that everyone knows. And then there is the truth. This is how it happened. How I went from being Peter Pan’s first—and favorite—lost boy to his greatest enemy. Peter brought me to his island because there were no rules and no grownups to make us mind. He brought boys from the Other Place to join in the fun, but Peter's idea of fun is sharper than a pirate’s sword. Because it’s never been all fun and games on the island. Our neighbors are pirates and monsters. Our toys are knife and stick and rock—the kinds of playthings that bite. Peter promised we would all be young and happy forever. Peter lies.

But she had not been very happythere. For one thing, there was a very cross old watch-dogin the farmyard. He was kept chained to his dog-housethrough the day, and never set loose until the otheranimals had gone to bed, but he used to snap at the ducksand chickens whenever they came near his dog-house,and that frightened them.Then there was no place to swim but in a muddy littleduck-pond that almost dried up in the heat of summer.But the worst thing of all at the farmhouse was the waythe farmer's wife used to steal the duck's eggs. No matterhow carefully Mrs. Duck hid her eggs, Mrs. Farmer alwaysfound them and took them away. Once she put a numberof them in a hen's nest, and allowed a hen to set on them.After a while the hen hatched out eleven of thecunningest, fuzziest, yellowest ducklings that ever were 3seen. The hen was just as pleased and proud as thoughshe had laid the eggs herself. But she didn't in the leastknow how to bring up a brood of ducklings. Mrs. Duckcould see that very plainly.
