Description

16-year-old Wendy Davies crashes her car into a lake on a late summer night in New England with her two younger brothers in the backseat. When she wakes in the hospital, she is told that her youngest brother, Michael, is dead. Wendy — a once rational teenager – shocks her family by insisting that Michael is alive and in the custody of a mysterious flying boy. Placed in a new school, Wendy negotiates fantasy and reality as students and adults around her resemble characters from Neverland. Given a sketchbook by her therapist, Wendy starts to draw.

This art is beautiful. Really, really beautiful. The use of color, the character designs- sometimes I'm iffy on how an artist chooses to draw people, because they can make or break the way we relate to characters in a graphic novel, and these characters are alive. The twist on an old story isn't old at all, and I'm just... I really liked this book. It's lyrical and lovely and just the right amount of mournful that when it hurts, it's the sweetest hurt. It's a sad that you enjoy. Overall, a great book.
