All the stuff with Wendy (and her daughter Jane, for that matter) happened in the past and this story happens in modern day. I personally feel Dust leans more toward being a sequel for Peter Pan than a retelling. But I'm happy to say that I LOVE her style and I enjoyed the story itself very much, too. I'd also never read anything by Kara Swanson before this, so I had no idea if I'd like her style or not. Peter Pan was enjoyable enough as a movie, but it was never my most favorite story, and I wasn't actually all that into to original tale when I read it. Swanson’s captivating sense of wonder makes this novel an immersive journey into a land you’ve visited in your dreams-and sometimes your nightmares.This was SO GOOD! I'll be honest with you, I wasn't sure a Peter Pan retelling/sequel would be my cup of tea. “With vivid descriptions, conflicted characters, and spirited pacing, Dust has it all.
Dust takes readers beyond the fairytale and, if possible, brings even more enchantment to the already beloved story." - Nadine Brandes, award-winning author of A Time to Die, Fawkes, and Romanov “A whimsical imagining of the dark side of Neverland. If you loved Peter Pan as a child, you’ll devour every gorgeous page of this romantic adventure! I can’t wait to see what happens next!” - Lorie Langdon, award-winning author of Olivia Twist and the Doon Series "Dust sparkles with hope, magic, and a little bit of pixie dust. "A vibrant, mesmerizing storyteller and original voice in young adult fiction." -Tosca Lee, New York Times best-selling author
"This twist on Peter Pan weaves in a little romance and some action and adventure." - School Library Journal a charming and engaging read." - Lorehaven magazine an intriguing experience." - Publishers Weekly "Swanson introduces a modern sensibility and maturity in this thoughtful revisiting.
