Synopsis

It has been five years since Wendy Darling and her brothers returned home after a harrowing ordeal in which they’d “gone missing” for several days and nights. To Wendy, they returned by fairy magic, fresh from the fight with Captain Hook, a little mussed up but none the worse for wear.

But to the rest of the world, Wendy and her brothers were abducted and put through such a traumatic experience, Wendy has subconsciously taken to hiding the truth from her brothers and herself by making up stories. Fairy stories – about a boy named Peter Pan and a world called Neverland.

Life is anything but a fairy story for them now. Wendy is being subjected to unwanted psychiatric therapy, her brothers are bullied at school, and the family is falling apart.

Then, one mist-filled night, a billowing black flag parts the clouds in the sky like the fin of a shark. It bears the stark white symbol of a skull and crossbones upon it.

Wendy has been forced to leave Neverland behind. But it is far from finished with her. In the blink of an eye, her world is once more turned upside down by a pixie in human form, a one-handed captain far more handsome and intriguing than she remembered him to be – and by a little boy… who grew up after all.

Unhooked

★ 3.53

Lisa Maxwell

For as long as she can remember, Gwendolyn Allister has never had a place to call home—all because her mother believes that monsters are hunting them. Now these delusions have brought them to London, far from the life Gwen had finally started to build for herself. The only saving grace is her best friend, Olivia, who’s coming with them for the summer.

But when Gwen and Olivia are kidnapped by shadowy creatures and taken to a world of flesh-eating sea hags and dangerous Fey, Gwen realizes her mom might have been sane all along.

The world Gwen finds herself in is called Neverland, yet it’s nothing like the stories. Here, good and evil lose their meaning and memories slip like water through her fingers. As Gwen struggles to remember where she came from and find a way home, she must choose between trusting the charming fairy-tale hero who says all the right things and the roguish young pirate who promises to keep her safe.

With time running out and her enemies closing in, Gwen is forced to face the truths she’s been hiding from all along. But will she be able to save Neverland without losing herself?

Adventure awaits in the Five Kingdoms—come and claim it in this start to a new series from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Fablehaven and Beyonders series.

Cole Randolph was just trying to have a fun time with his friends on Halloween (and maybe get to know Jenna Hunt a little better). But when a spooky haunted house turns out to be a portal to something much creepier, Cole finds himself on an adventure on a whole different level.

After Cole sees his friends whisked away to some mysterious place underneath the haunted house, he dives in after them—and ends up in The Outskirts. The Outskirts are made up of five kingdoms that lie between wakefulness and dreaming, reality and imagination, life and death. It’s an in-between place. Some people are born there. Some find their way there from our world, or from other worlds.

And once you come to the Outskirts, it’s very hard to leave.

With the magic of the Outskirts starting to unravel, it’s up to Cole and an unusual girl named Mira to rescue his friends, set things right in the Outskirts, and hopefully find his way back home…before his existence is forgotten.

Steinernes Fleisch

★ 3.75

Cornelia Funke

Jahrelang ist es Jacob Reckless gelungen, im Zimmer seines verschwundenen Vaters unbeobachtet die Hand auf den Spiegel zu legen und so ins märchenhafte Reich dahinter zu gelangen. Dort hat er als erfolgreicher Schatzjäger unter anderem im Dienst der Kaiserin gearbeitet, ist dem Schuh von Aschenputtel ebenso hinterher gejagt wie dem Tischlein deck dich, dem Knüppel aus dem Sack oder dem Goldenen Ball, der jeden in sich hineinzuziehen vermag, der ihn berührt. Und er hat erfahren, dass sein Vater mit seinen Erfindungen den grausamen Goyls bei ihrem Kampf gegen die Menschen geholfen hat: jenen seelenlosen Wesen also, deren Haut (und Herz) aus Stein besteht.

Jetzt aber ist Jacobs jüngerer Bruder Will dem Schatzjäger ins geheimnisvolle Reich hinter dem Spiegel gefolgt – und gerät dadurch in tödliche Gefahr. Plötzlich droht er selbst zu einem Goyl zu werden: mit einer Haut aus Jade. Der Jade-Menschengoyl aber soll mit einer ungeheueren Macht ausgestattet sein, die sich der Goyl-Herrscher Kami’en zunutze machen könnte, um endgültig über die Menschen zu siegen. So jedenfalls hat es die Dunkle Fee erträumt, die an der Seite Kami’ens herrscht. Und während Jacob mit Wills Freundin Clara und der Gestaltenwandlerin Fuchs verzweifelt versucht, den Verfall von Wills fleischlicher Haut in Jade aufzuhalten, ist Will längst als Leibwächter des Goyl-Königs eingeplant. Eine unerbittliche Jagd gegen die Zeit beginnt, die Jacob kaum gewinnen kann...

Kit is back. And she’s still stuck playing her ridiculous elf dancer character.

After leading a group out of the full submersion video game, Chronicles of Retha, Kit knew she couldn’t leave the remaining players to suffer their fate alone. So she returned to the game with the goal to get everyone out.

Solus Miles has always preferred solo playing, but Kit’s return changes everything. He vows to partner with her fully, allowing her to use him as her shield and even her mascot.

When the top guilds are still skeptical Kit turns to those whom others overlook: the non-playable characters controlled by the game mechanics.

But Retha has changed.

Monsters, events, and quests have shifted, complicating her task. The journey across an altered Retha tests even Kit’s veteran knowledge and strains her leadership like never before.

Can she leverage her NPC allies and convince the other players to join her?
