Auburn (57 KP) rated The Neverland Wars (The Neverland Wars, #1) in Books

I had high hopes for this book. I really love retellings of Peter Pan and the idea that society is using magic to progress was interesting.
Instead I found myself saddened by the book, the story idea was amazing but I just got bored half way through the book. The premise of Peter Pan stealing kids away from families was only breifly mentioned and the parents/officers were mentioned only in beginning. I wanted more from each side, why did they think their kids were stolen, did most kids return home. Did they lose their memories once home as parents thought they were being kidnapped?
I did enjoy the magic and the thought provoking parts. Do you want to grow up, do you have to grow up? It really makes you think about your life and if growing up is a thought process or just a frame of mind.

Light stratagy easy for kids to pick up

Easy scoring.

Great for all ages, easy to learn, and fun to play with kids

This is a light quick game that we can actually play with kids and not be bored with. The premise is simple, you have 4 tiles to choose from, and then you must place your time and select the next one. The real strategy is not only where you place it, but also which one you pick and the level of quality will set up the selection order of the next round, maybe you can settle for the worst tile and get your choice of tiles next round, or maybe you need that top tile and will settle for what's leftover the next round. Great little game, we tend to play best two out of three as each game really only lasts 20 minutes.

Another favourite author of mine - after coming off of Neighbour from Hell this is quite a different pace to come to and read. This book is very adorable and sweet, and actually has quite a bit of excitement, suspense maybe - action with the celebrity aspect. Throws a different light on that type of life I wonder if that's how all celebrity life is or if they live a more "normal" type of celebrity.

I like the book writer aspect and the kids, oh I love kids in books when written right, though sometimes I definitely felt the kids were written older then they were, it didn't bother me too much. This was a re-read for me though i can't remember when I read it for the first time (I read neighbour from hell repeatedly so I figured I'd re-read this series, not sad I did).
