In early twentieth-century London, before Wendy encounters Peter Pan, she is not the perfect girl her parents would like her to be. Intrepid, outspoken, and willful, she’s always getting into trouble. One evening, confined to the nursery by her horrible nanny, she sneaks out to spy on her parents’ glamorous parties. She sees her father kiss another woman and finds herself pulled into an adult world of mysteries and lies. What Wendy sees changes her life forever and triggers a series of confusing adventures as she tries to solve the mysteries that lie at the heart of her family. This compelling story re-creates the lifestyle of the privileged classes of the early twentieth century in the world that shaped Wendy’s life before she met Peter Pan.
