Wendy's imagination never runs away from her — it flies.
Wendy Darling is not the perfect girl her parents would like her to be. Intrepid, outspoken, and willful, she's always getting into trouble. One evening, confined to the nursery by her horrible nanny, she sneaks out to spy on one of her parents' glamorous parties.
Their world is lavish, rich with excess — and off limits to Wendy. On this evening Wendy uncovers a secret she had not bargained for. It catapults both her and her brothers, Michael and John, into a series of confusing events as she tries to make sense of the mystery and intrigue that lie at the heart of her family.
In early twentieth-century London, before their encounter with Peter Pan, nine-year-old Wendy and her younger brothers lead far from perfect lives with their emotionally distant parents and abusive Nanny, a situation that only worsens for Wendy when she see her father kiss another woman and finds herself pulled into an adult world of mysteries and lies.

Wendy
I was pre-reading this to see if it was appropriate for my eight-year-old, who wants to read every Peter Pan related book written in English.
It was entirely realistic with not a touch of fantasy. After spending so many pages observing this perceptive little girl's agony, caused by her precocious ability to empathize with adult problems like adultery and financial ruin, the author provides us only an overly simplistic resolution that no one older than fourteen could believe really helps anything get better. When her contact with Peter is finally foreshadowed, the author insinuates that he's the product of an emotionally deprived child's head trauma.
A sad and pointless story. I'm not letting my kid touch this with a ten foot pole.
