Determined to get himself and his sister out the rundown orphanage, Pete finds a solution in the seedy underbelly of London, a deadly place of scamps and thieves where survival is determined by cunning skill and bareknuckle bravery. But then one night, everything changes . . .<\/p>\n<p>In this dark reimagining of the original Lost Boy, Wendy Spinale weaves a stunning story of courage and heartbreak, loss and redemption as one boy is forced to face his past . . . and his future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>{My thoughts} \u2013 <\/strong>I will admit I read this prequel after I read the first book. This prequel helped me to better understand Pete and the storyline. It introduced all the main characters in a more effective manner.<\/p>\n<p>In this prequel you learn what happened to Pete and his family. It also helps you to better understand all the main characters and the reason for their personalities.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoyed reading it and think that anyone else that is interested in Peter Pan remakes will enjoy it as well. I do however recommend reading it before reading the first book. It will help you better understand the first book on so many levels. <\/p>\n<p><strong>{Quotes I Enjoyed} \u2013<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>{01} &#8211;<\/strong> As a child, my mum told me the night sky was an obsidian blanket and the stars were holes for those who have passed before us to keep watch.<br \/>\n<strong>{02} &#8211;<\/strong> The cry of the littlest survivor in Bella&#8217;s tiny arms draws my attention back to the group of kids I&#8217;ve rescued. As I look into each of their faces, I don&#8217;t see children, but young people who have been forced to grow up all too soon. Death and destruction have changed them and their innocence has been stolen. They&#8217;re frightened , cold, and hungry. Their worried eyes seek safety. Solace.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Final Conclusion:<\/strong> 5 Star Rating. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature-300x114.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"114\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature-300x114.png 300w, https:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature.png 329w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{Synopsis} \u2013 Before Captain Hook annihilated England, before the Lost City was built underground, before Gwen stole his heart, Pete was a just boy living among the shadows.
