About the book:
Title: Dust; Heirs of Neverland Book One
Author: Kara Swanson
Series: Heirs of Neverland
Publisher: Enclave
The truth about Neverland is far more dangerous than a fairy tale.
Claire Kenton believes the world is too dark for magic to be real--since her twin brother was stolen away as a child. Now Claire's desperate search points to London... and a boy who shouldn't exist.
Peter Pan is having a beastly time getting back to Neverland. Grounded in London and hunted by his own Lost Boys, Peter searches for the last hope of restoring his crumbling island: a lass with magic in her veins.
The girl who fears her own destiny is on a collision course with the boy who never wanted to grow up. The truth behind this fairy tale is about to unravel everything Claire thought she knew about Peter Pan--and herself.

About Kara Swanson:
As the daughter of missionaries, KARA SWANSON spent her childhood running barefoot through the lush jungles of Papua New Guinea. Able to relate with characters dropped into a unique new world, she quickly fell in love with the fantasy genre.
Swanson is the award-winning author of The Girl Who Could See and Peter Pan retelling/sequel Dust (Enclave Publishing, July 2020). She helps young writers explore their passions as a faculty member of the Young Writer’s Workshop and also offers her own author coaching services.
Kara is passionate about crafting stories of light shattering darkness, connecting with readers, and becoming best friends with a mermaid—though not necessarily in that order.
You can connect with Kara online where she chats about coffee, fairy tales and bookish things on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
My Thoughts:
From Pixie Dust, Left Star to the Right, to Tiger Lily this book is an enchanting read. It embodies everything that we have come to love about Peter Pan.
In Kara Swanson's very unique but skilled hand she takes a reader on an adventure filled with twists, turns, and surprises. It's been quite awhile since I've read the actual story of Peter Pan so reading this tale was refreshing and so memorable.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching both Claire and Peter discover their true selves as they went through the peril that Ms. Swanson created for them.
I adored this story and can't wait for book two Dust and Shadows in 2021!
I received a copy of this book via the publisher. I was not required to write a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
