Synopsis
Peter is still the boy who doesn t grow up. Wendy is a girl who had to grow up too soon. And Wendy s brother, Michael, has autism and a connection to The Island of Lost Children, a book for readers 8-12 (and those in touch with their internal children). When Peter leaves his island home, it s to search for pick-up soccer games and mock sword fights. Wendy spends her evenings looking after her two brothers, bratty JJ as well as Michael, while her parents work nights. In the midst of several unusual events including the disappearance of her classmate, Lily, at odds with her adoptive mother Wendy doesn t realize that Peter s pirate nemesis is keeping an eye on her. Everything changes for Wendy and her family when a peculiar fairy named Bellatresse helps Peter find the girl whose stories he once listened to outside her bedroom window. With its quirky humor and occasionally touching moments, The Island of Lost Children is about children creating their own stories, families, and communities, all while swashbuckling, navigating mystical rivers, riding child-made roller coasters, and, of course, sailing high through the open skies.

About the Author
Kim Batchelor writes books for children and adults, real and fantastical, foreign and domestic. I live in Dallas, Texas, with a spouse, two dogs, and three cats. One of my prized possessions is a busted tambourine given to me by Eddie Vedder. Okay, he tossed it to me in a dark stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, but the real story is never as interesting as the one I make up.
Review
Kim Batchelor really does a wonderful presentation and the illustration is marvelous! Can't wait to see more books! Nice work! --Amazon
This is a book that I won from a First Reads giveaway and was really looking forward to reading because it was promoted as a reimagining of the Peter Pan story.The book reads like it is intended for a middle grade reading leave and is a well written story with a few minor plot holes which is why I was only able to give it three stars. Over all I did enjoy the book which brings the Peter Pan story to life in modern America. In the story we follow the normal cast of Peter Pan characters, who deal with problems that today s kids will relate to while they have a somewhat traditional fairy tale adventure. I do recommend this book to younger readers and think they will find it a fun and enjoyable read. --Goodreads
