This is a new twist on my favorite fairy tale Peter Pan so that immediately drew my attention to reading this book.

Second Star focuses on Wendy Darling's life as the new captain of the Jolly Roger that was formerly run by Captain James Hook. When Wendy discovers unkept secrets of the ship and with the planet we know as Neverland, Wendy takes the adventure to Neverland to uncover the secrets of the ship and Captain James Hook. But there is a dark force known as the shadow and it's on a mission to find a new body to escape it's imprisonment as a spiritual being. Will Wendy find her way out and escape with Captain James Hook or will she put her trust into this man they call Pan?

This book left me wanting more and increasing my curiosity leaving me on the edge of my seat wanting to know what will happen to Wendy and will she find and unlock the secrets to the ship. This book is similar to the movie Pan that came out carrying on the prequel to the classic fairy tale we all know and love because being a huge fan of the fairytale and seeing so many versions of it, made me want to find out how he came to be and finding new twists and turns to the story to see if the same result is still plausible and that in itself was very enjoyable and refreshing. This definitely will find its place on our YFiction/Fantasy shelves and that is why we are happy to give it 5 stars!

Second Star is a scifi spin on Peter Pan. I usually love scifi retellings. It was ok. I didn't really like the ending. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review.
