Neverland - Shari Arnold


It’s been four months since seventeen-year-old Livy Cloud lost her younger sister, but she isn’t quite ready to move on with her life — not even close. She’d rather spend her time at the Seattle Children’s hospital, reading to the patients and holding onto memories of the sister who was everything to her and more.But when she meets the mysterious and illusive Meyer she is drawn into a world of adventure, a world where questions abound. Is she ready to live life without her sister? Or more importantly, is she brave enough to love again? In this modern reimagining of Peter Pan, will Livy lose herself to Neverland or will she find what she’s been searching for?

My thoughts...

Neverland took me on a journey through the aftermath of a devestating experience in one families life - their grief and, eventually, their acceptance.  With poignant emotion, honesty and child-like innocence, the author has written a story of loss and how, sometimes, it's the ones who have been left behind who must choose to live.
