The Wendy Darling series takes the Peter Pan story and retells it from Wendy’s perspective, with results that are darker and more emotionally complex than J.M. Barrie’s original. In Oakes’ version, Peter is charming but dangerous, Neverland is beautiful but deadly, and Wendy is a fully realized character rather than a bystander in someone else’s adventure.

The three-book series follows Wendy through Stars, Seas, and Shadow, taking her from wonder to disillusionment to a final reckoning with what Neverland really is and what Peter has really become.
