When I found out about this book, I was so excited to read it. It was described as a fantastic twist on an old classic. And it was! Wendy is an orphan who longs to be a sea captain. But women are not given a chance to be a part of that world. So she secretly trains with people until she finally masters the skills to fight, navigate, and sense magic (which ironically only women and dogs can do). She joins a secret branch of the navy to fight against the Everlost! But are the everlost really the threat they seem? Will the leader of the secret branch, Captain Hook, believe her stories of the boy who can fly?⠀
⠀
Using only her wiles and her intelligence, Wendy make chess move upon chess move, still not sure which side she stands on: loyalty for country, or sympathy for Peter.⠀
⠀
This book was a fantastic read, with so many connections to the original book in such unique ways!! If you love the story of Peter Pan, you won’t be able to put this down!⠀

Small Summary:
London. 1789. More than anything in the world, Wendy Darling wants to be the captain of a ship, but women aren’t allowed in the Royal Navy. When she learns the Home Office is accepting a handful of women into its ranks, she jumps at the chance, joining the fight against the most formidable threat England has ever faced. Magic.
But the secret service isn’t exactly what she hoped. Accompanied by a reimagined cast of the original Peter Pan, Wendy soon discovers that her dreams are as far away as ever, that choosing sides isn’t as simple as she thought, and that the only man who isn’t blinded by her gender might be the worst friend anyone could ask for.
Anyone, that is, except Wendy Darling.
