His tale is interwoven with that of Claire, a girl who is heart-broken over the loss of her twin brother and terrified of the dust emanating from her skin, which she believes to be a curse. I wanted to shake him at times, for the way he clung to his flaws, but despite them, he was a compelling character with a meaningful journey. Yet to the boy who won’t grow up, the prospect of growing older remains a horror to reject. In Dust, we enter Peter’s life many years after the events recorded in Peter Pan, and Peter receives another opportunity to change-if only he will. While they choose to embrace the process of maturation and enjoy the rich bonds of familial love, Peter forsakes his friends and “family” to remain a carefree child, able to do whatever he pleases. In the original work, Peter refuses to surrender his perpetual youth, even when the Darling children and the Lost Boys return to London. Barrie’s Peter Pan, Dust takes familiar characters deep into a new tale, one that’s fresh and satisfying. And when I learned it explored the intriguing concept of Peter Pan trapped in London, bereft of magic and unable to return to his beloved Neverland, it jumped higher on my reading list-and I wasn't disappointed. When I saw its striking cover, I immediately wanted to take a deeper look. Enclave Publishing has released some fantastic titles lately, and Dust by Kara Swanson is no exception.
