It added an interesting layer to the story and the characters. There were some discussions on getting older and the gift of imagination. Wendy is determined to hold on to the fantasy of Neverland, yet slowly realizes change, and growing up, is not necessarily a bad thing. Peter Pan holds on to childhood, hating any sort of change. Straight on Till Morning is all about holding on to childhood and fear of running out of time.

In a last ditch effort, Wendy makes a bargain with the last person you’d expect: Captain Hook. However, her parents are troubled by her wild imagination and decide to send her to Ireland to be a governess. While her brothers outgrew fairy tales, Wendy held on to the hope Peter Pan would return and take her back to Neverland. It is set four years after Peter Pan’s initial visit to the Darling house and, in fleeing from the family dog Nana, not only left behind the children but also his shadow in the possession of the eldest Darling child, Wendy. In case you can’t tell, Straight on Till Morning is a reimagining of the Disney movie Peter Pan. The narrator had a delightful British accent and she did the characters’ respective voices very well. I listened to Straight on Till Morning as an audiobook. And yet, Straight on Till Morning somehow turned out to be my favorite book in Disney’s Twisted Tales series so far. Unexpected dangers and strange foes pop up at every turn, and a little pixie named Tinker Bell seems less than willing to help.īut when Captain Hook reveals some rather permanent and evil plans for Never Land, it's up to the two of them to save Peter Pan-and his world.After reading three books in the Twisted Tales series, I will be honest: I was not expecting much. 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.

Sixteen-year-old Wendy Darling's life is not what she imagined it would be.
