Reviewed by Samantha Rivera for Readers' Favorite

Peter is not just the boy who never grew up. In fact, he’s a young boy who has been treated badly. Tinkerbell, on the other hand, is not just a fighter as she’s always been known. Instead, she’s a flighty debutante with not much of anything to lose. She’s also very interested in Peter as a child and as possibly more. There’s a lot going to happen between the two and between everyone else in Neverland. There’s also much going on throughout Neverland long before Wendy ever enters the picture. No one will see all of this coming and they will definitely never have thought about where Peter came from in this way before.

The story of Peter Pan is one that many people know but this one is not quite the same story everyone has heard. In The Autobiography of Peter Pan, the focus is actually on Peter himself and how he came to live in Neverland instead of on Wendy or the Lost Boys, which most of these stories are about. I loved how everything happened for Peter after he went through so much. I couldn’t believe all the things that Peter and Tinkerbell went through. Tink definitely wasn’t who I thought she was (based on the other versions of this story that I had read) but I really like this version of her as well. It was really interesting to see a brand new take on Tinkerbell, Peter, and the rest of the faerie realm.
