Forget the story of Peter Pan and Wendy you know. Because in Everland, the only way to grow up is to survive. London has been destroyed in a blitz of bombs and disease. The only ones who have survived are children, among them Gwen Darling and her siblings, Joanna and Mikey. They spend their nights scavenging and their days avoiding the ruthless Marauders -- the German Army led by Captain Hanz Otto Oswald Kretschmer. Unsure if the virus has spread past England's borders but desperate to leave, Captain Hook hunts for a cure, which he thinks can be found in one of the survivors. He and his Marauders stalk the streets snatching children for experimentation. None ever return. Until the day they grab Joanna. As Gwen sets out to save her, she meets a daredevil boy named Pete. Pete offers the assistance of his gang of Lost Boys and the fierce sharpshooter Bella, who have all been living in a city hidden underground. But in a place where help has a steep price and every promise is bound by blood, it will cost Gwen. And are she, Pete, the Lost Boys, and Bella enough to outsmart Captain Hook?

From Sophie Cameron, the author of Out of the Blue, comes a novel of magic, adventure, and what it means to truly belong. Brody Fair feels like nobody gets him: not his overworked parents, not his genius older brother, and definitely not the girls in the projects set on making his life miserable. Then he meets Nico, an art student who takes Brody to Everland, a “knock-off Narnia" that opens its door at 11:21pm each Thursday for Nico and his band of present-day misfits and miscreants. Here Brody finds his tribe and a weekly respite from a world where he feels out of place. But when the doors to Everland begin to disappear, Brody is forced to make a decision: He can say goodbye to Everland and to Nico, or stay there and risk never seeing his family again. Will Nico take the last bus to Everland?

A novel of two expeditions, a century apart, that “conjures the Antarctic convincingly . . . in its vastness and implacable indifference to human life” (The New York Times Book Review). In 1913, three explorers—Dinners, Millet-Bass, and Napps—volunteer to leave their ship, the Kismet, and scout an uncharted and unknown island in the Antarctic, which Napps names “Everland.” While all three are enticed by the promise of adventure and reward, they are immortalized by the disastrous outcome of the expedition, their stories preserved for posterity. In 2012, Brix, Jess, and Decker—three researchers with their own reasons for being so far from home—set out on a centenary field trip to survey the same island. Their equipment is more advanced than the previous group’s, and their purpose more scientific—but the weather of Everland remains an unpredictable and deadly force, and under the harsh ultraviolet light of a sun which doesn’t set, isolated from the world, they begin to echo the expedition of a hundred years ago. “Nothing short of stunning: an adventure story, a psychological investigation of physical and mental breakdown, and a remarkable account of weather and endeavor.” —The Guardian

This Tinkerbell is finally in with The Lost Boys. Seriously, she's the new lead singer for their band. But the guitarist she's crushing on only sees her as a cute little mascot. And the guy who's crushing on her? She doesn't see him at all. I blame my car. If the stupid old clunker hadn't broken down, I would have had time to go home and change before auditioning for lead singer of my crush's band. Instead, I showed up in a Tinkerbell costume. Awesome. Now I'm not so much the hot rocker chick as I am that weird fairy girl, but whatever. I mean, I got the gig, that's what counts. And I owe it all to Maverick. If the newest member of the Princess Troupe hadn't stopped and played a real life prince by rescuing me and giving me a ride, I never would have gotten to the audition at all. Maverick even goes so far as to stick around and give me a ride home afterward, which is really going above and beyond for a new work friend. But when he tries to kiss me at the end of the night? Friends, we've officially entered never-never land. This can't be real. We live in two different worlds. Someone needs to tell Maverick that star football players don't go for girls like me. He says he's cool with being friends first, so yeah...okay. Friends I can do. Besides, it looks like I'm gonna need all the friends I can get as I prove to my new band that I'm not some kid who likes to play dress up. I'm a grown up. Mostly. Just...don't challenge me to a game of Never Have I Ever.

This fast paced Noir mystery has a great cast of easily identifiable characters, a plot both easy to follow and intriguing, and an ending that will leave you satisfied. ----- "...a rollicking mystery with a fascinating setting, a magical world with a hardboiled edge.

A reformed pirate and private detective, he walks the line between criminal and hero, living in the corners of what was once the island of Neverland, its magic slowly fading into the new world of the 1950s.

Peter Pan in Everland tells a story of the Kindly children on an adventure to their first day of school. At the bus stop, they meet Peter, who is trying to find his way to Everland Primary and his playmates, the Complex Kids. As they help Peter find his way, the Kindlys meet an exciting cast of characters, and learn to appreciate both friend and foe by taking time to better know others and understand everyone's unique experience of life. By retelling classics with inclusive casts of characters in diverse circumstances, authors and co-founders of Inclusive Impact Initiative, Andrea Lynn Piazza and Nicole Warren, aim to create a new set of fairy tale heroes for our children. Both dancers turned social-justice-advocates, the authors understand the profound impact of seeing characters of all abilities taking part in the stories we already know and love. The first book in their Inclusive Classics collection, Peter Pan in Everland introduces neurodiverse and differently-abled characters who all communicate and explore the world in their own ways.
