Interpretation Supposing Books The Child Thief

Peter is quick, daring, and full of mischief—and like all boys, he loves to play, though his games often end in blood. His eyes are sparkling gold, and when he graces you with his smile you are his friend for life, but his promised land is not Neverland. Fourteen-year-old Nick would have been murdered by the drug dealers preying on his family had Peter not saved him. Now the irresistibly charismatic wild boy wants Nick to follow him to a secret place of great adventure, where magic is alive and you never grow old. Even though he is wary of Peter's crazy talk of faeries and monsters, Nick agrees. After all, New York City is no longer safe for him, and what more could he possibly lose?

There is always more to lose.

Accompanying Peter to a gray and ravished island that was once a lush, enchanted paradise, Nick finds himself unwittingly recruited for a war that has raged for centuries—one where he must learn to fight or die among the "Devils," Peter's savage tribe of lost and stolen children.

There, Peter's dark past is revealed: left to wolves as an infant, despised and hunted, Peter moves restlessly between the worlds of faerie and man. The Child Thief is a leader of bloodthirsty children, a brave friend, and a creature driven to do whatever he must to stop the "Flesh-eaters" and save the last, wild magic in this dying land.

Discuss About Books The Child Thief

Having listened to 'Little White bird ' on the radio a few weeks ago I realized that Mr Barrie was not a gentlemen i would have allowed anywhere near any of my children if i had any. One very weird and odd man. This book takes his character of Peter Pan and wraps around him an incredible tale running back and forth through history sweeping up in his wake ancient druidic struggles against 'modern' belief, legend and myth, history and the modern day. We follow the Child Thief in his 'collecting '

Okay, its unpopular opinion time, as I go against the 5-star flow for this book.3 stars, and Im being generous."The Child Thief" is an original take on the Peter Pan story, complete with outstanding illustrations by the author (who is also an artist, apparently) at the start of every chapter. The story itself is very dark and brooding; even early on, somehow I knew not to expect a happy ending.Im not going to reiterate the plot; read the blurb for yourself. But just know ahead of time that this

"The darkness is calling. A little danger, a little risk. Feel your heart race. Listen to it. Thats the sound of being alive. Its your time, Nick. Your one chance to have fun before its all stolen by them, the adults, with their cruelty and endless rules, their cant-do-this, and cant-do-thats, their have-tos, and better-dos, their little boxes and cages all designed to break your spirit, to kill your magic". Buddy read with Nina (Click for her review).I loved it. I loved it. I loved it. I

This retelling brilliantly succeeds in going to the very core of what gives this heartbreaking feeling to Peter Pan : The raw loneliness of the Lost Boys, and the ambiguity of Peter : a hero, you think? Really? Well now. There's no such thing as a hero in this book, and it was fantastic. What is it with anti-heroes that captivates me so much? "The thief saw the fear, the confusion, and he smiled. What had led this child here : abuse, neglect, molestation? All of the above perhaps? It really

Rating: 5* of fiveI can't praise THE CHILD THIEF highly enough. I read it several Christmases ago at the behest of a graphic-novel loving friend and, in spite of hating comic books and disliking the work necessary to decode them, I took a chance on this book.1) Not a graphic novel.2) GORGEOUS.3) Read the revised review at my blog.Why make money for people who don't respect my data, except as they can profit from it?



Very, very good.The postmodern Peter Pan; more Pan than Peter.Broms 2009 retelling of Peter Pan was enthralling. From the first few pages describing the mean streets of New York City and some excruciatingly graphic scenes of drug dealing cruelty and violence, the reader is held, shocked and awed, by his weird and unforgiving vision of J.M. Barries characters told from the vantage of the 21st century.Broms dark prophecy is as much Jack Vance and Michael Moorcock as it is early 1900s prose, with a
