Description
Neverland has become a war zone and it's up to a new group of lost teens to set things right in this gritty YA graphic novel series from #1 New York Times bestselling Australian author Tom Taylor and powerhouse Australian comic artist Jon Sommariva!
Bee and her fellow runaways are their own found family. So when a stranger named Paco saves her life, Bee invites him to join their crew, thinking he's another lost teen. The truth is Paco's not just a lost teen, he's a Lost Boy from Neverland. And he needs Bee and the others to come back with him.
When the group is then spirited away by a foul-mouthed Tinker Bell, they discover that Neverland is not some fun-filled hideaway. It's a war zone under siege by a horde of pirates with a merciless new leader who will stop at nothing to steal the land's magic. Tink leads a fairy army that barely holds them at bay. Peter Pan is gone. And rest of the Lost Boys have been killed. Paco is all that remains ... but he hopes that this group of teens will become the new Lost Ones. These young runaways may be Neverland's only hope - but they're about to learn that it'll take a lot more than happy thoughts to win a war.
Award-winning and worldwide bestselling Australian author Tom Taylor (Marvel's Dark Ages, Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Dark Knights of Steel) and powerhouse Australian artist Jon Sommariva (Marvel Action- Avengers, Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) whisk readers off to Neverland - but this gritty reimagining isn't the Peter Pan you remember.
Review
When Bee gets knocked into the path of an oncoming train, she is saved by Paco and invites him to join her family of homeless teenagers.
But they don’t know what they have agreed to when they accept Paco’s offer, and accompany him to a better world where he lives.
Enter the world of Neverland. But not at all as we know it!
It should be an idyllic place, but it is currently a war zone. Peter Pan is gone, and the place is a disaster. It needs a bunch of new kids to save it from a group of merciless pirates who want to destroy it. Lead by the foul mouthed (albeit bleeped out) Tinker Bell, can the group save Neverland?
This is a terrific adventure filled graphic novel with great characters and wonderful illustrations that will appeal to lovers of this genre aged 11 to 15 years.
