Forgotten egybest Things started clicking with the plot about 25% of the way into the book Remember I didn t read the description before diving in I had my suspicions about several characters and who they might really be from Neverland They are peppered throughout the book especially near the end as Gwendolyn Wendy starts to remember her time there. Book forgotten girls This was such a delight to read I was drawn into the story imagining what might have happened if Peter and Wendy reunited in the future and perhaps formed something than a friendship I enjoyed the banter between Gwendolyn and her friends at school with her brothers and with Mr O Connor There are some real conversations with her mother near the end that help mend their relationship Young children can t know what parents are going through especially when they lose their spouse I loved the vulnerability of her mom in sharing those details with her. Forgottenglory discord This is a theater production and has been optioned for television I do hope that it is made into something for television so that I am able to enjoy this in another format I can also always hope that there is a traveling theater company and they make their way to the south I can only imagine how fascinating this would be as a live production We give this book 5 paws up and highly recommend it especially if you enjoy the story of Peter Pan English
