This is not a mystery like your usual mystery, nor is it simply a humorous novel; it is the most perfect combination of the two. Knowing Silkstone's writing, I expected Wendy and the Lost Boys to be clever and funny, but I didn't expect such a wild ride of a mystery and a rapid repeat of thrill, laugh, thrill. Silkstone has really hit on something with her twist on classic tales. It makes the story all the more fun as you compare the characters in Wendy and the Lost Boys to those of Peter Pan.And while making a fool of myself laughing out loud as I read, I also couldn't help marveling at the evocative imagery Silkstone uses, to the extent that I was actually reminded of Vonnegut at times. The novel isn't just non-stop fun, there's substance here as well. It is truly one of those can't-put-it-down gems!
