Things have changed in Neverland since its creator J.M. Barrie last paid a visit: disturbed dreams are escaping and coming back to earth, where they're being picked up by a fully-grown Wendy Darling and the remainder of the Lost Boys. That is, with the exception of Michael Darling, for he has been killed in the First World War. And it is brutal human realities like this that make Geraldine McCaughrean's sequel to the story a darker, more frightening, yet entirely sympathetic updating of Barrie's vision of what it means to grow up. McCaughrean was commissioned to write this by Great Ormond Street Hospital and she's done them proud. Never losing sight of the spirit of adventure that infused the original, this retains the elements of magic yet connects the story and the characters with the real world. The result is a drama where Tinkerbell can exist alongside psychological insights into men who've lost their mothers. It's a spectacularly impressive work, although maybe too grown-up for many children - Peter Pan would not be interested, for sure.
