I read PETER PAN IN SCARLET the same week it came out. I tried to like this book. I had to keep putting it down then picking it up and forcing myself to finish it. I'm not sure it was a good idea for the author to try to replicate Barrie's style so much. Some of her quips are clever. However, it comes across as a "rip-off" of J. M.. The "pressure from GOSH" to produce an authorized sequel is quite evident in this endeavor. The characters in this book, although familiar to everyone, have lost their charm and appeal. Based on her previous reputation and awards, I am sure that the author's original children's books are fine. This one is clearly aimed at young children. The original is geared more towards a mature reader who can reflect on the magic of childhood. That is why Peter Pan has always been a multi-generational experience, one to be shared by parent, grandparent, aunt or uncle with their children. It's the story of lost childhood...a place to which we can never return. This slight melancholy is the thread that binds the original story together. There is just no depth to this story. The theme of "clothes make the man" seems so superficial by comparison. With the rights to PETER PAN now in public domain I hope that in the future there will be better new adventures for the boy who never grew up. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Neverland Troubled *by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2010* I read the first few chapters of this, and found them delightful, so I started over, this time reading the book aloud to my kids. We all laughed our heads off over the story of how and why the Darlings returned to Neverland. Just brilliant. The kids also loved the new fairy, Fireflyer, who is hilarious from birth. But things kind of went downhill once we arrived in Neverland. We discovered that things are not right in Neverland, and Peter is not himself. That's the whole premise of the story - the cause of the change must be discovered and things must be put right. But it's kind of a bad choice of a premise, because it means that for nearly the entire book, we have a Peter Pan is isn't very Peter Panish, and a Neverland that isn't very Neverlandy. An awful lot of it is basically grim and grown-up, though bits of humor keep popping up. Yes, we tie up some loose ends, but wanting all the loose ends tied up is such a grown up preoccupation. It hardly belongs in Neverland, where loose ends are simply abandoned in piles on the floor the moment a new adventure beckons.Anyway, the good bits of this are so good that fans of Pan should by all means read the book, but there is also much here that is far too heavy and sluggish to fly in Neverland. ### ⭐⭐ Oh um... *by M***O on Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2009* I am a huge fan of Peter Pan, to the point where I am buying any book that touches on the subject. So of course I grabbed the authorized sequel to the original. And wow was I bored and upset at the result. Maybe it is just me, but by the time I was halfway through the book I felt the need to put it down and come back weeks later to finish it. I was disappointed and I am not sure why or how to even explain it. Maybe because Peter Pan was about never growing old, exploring your dreams and hopes forever, and having adventure. This book is about growing up, nightmares, betray and death.Sorry, but that seems a tad off. And that's why it has so few stars. In the end I just did not enjoy it! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/17965086-peter-pan-in-scarlet](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/17965086-peter-pan-in-scarlet) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
