A return to Neverland reshapes a familiar rivalry

Austin Chant reimagines Peter Pan through a queer, transgender lens, sending Peter back to Neverland after ten years away. The place he remembers has changed, and his return unsettles the balance between the Lost Boys and Captain Hook’s pirates. As conflict turns into war, Peter’s old rivalry with Hook becomes entwined with desire and danger. The retelling centers questions of home, identity, and belonging within a fantasy conflict, while bringing a more complex relationship between Peter and Hook to the foreground.

  • Readers interested in queer and transgender retellings of classic stories.
  • Readers drawn to fantasy involving Neverland, pirates, and conflict between rival groups.

Book overview

A queer, transgender retelling of Peter Pan in which Pan returns to Neverland after a decade in the real world.

 

The Lost Boys say that Peter Pan went back to England because of Wendy Darling, but Wendy is just an old life he left behind. Neverland is his real home. So when Peter returns to it after ten years in the real world, he's surprised to find a Neverland that no longer seems to need him.

 

The only person who truly missed Peter is Captain James Hook, who is delighted to have his old rival back. But when a new war ignites between the Lost Boys and Hook's pirates, the ensuing bloodshed becomes all too real - and Peter's rivalry with Hook starts to blur into something far more complicated, sensual, and deadly.
