All Darling Children

All Darling Children

"Monroe (A Tale Du Mort) turns Neverland into a frightening, violent place in this tense extension of J.M. Barrieâ€™s classic, Peter Pan. Madge Darling just wants to be free from her overprotective and abusive grandmother, Wendy. During her latest attempt to run away, she meets a strange boy who promises to take her to her long-lost mother. Once they arrive in a degraded, depopulated Neverland, Peter forces Madge to be â€œmotherâ€ to the feral and cruel Lost Boys. Madge recoils from the violent games they pursue and vainly attempts to control Peterâ€™s sadistic, authoritarian personality. Her thought processes and reactions do not realistically match a young adolescent girlâ€™s, but they are appropriate to the horror she encounters. Madgeâ€™s growing realization of her familyâ€™s connection to Neverland answers questions from her past but opens new wounds. To end Peterâ€™s dominion, she teams up with Tiger Lily, whoâ€™s now chief of Neverlandâ€™s Indians, and the ghost of Captain Hook. Monroe effectively weaves in excerpts from Wendyâ€™s diary to ominously expose Neverlandâ€™s truth. The grimness of this version will repel some who prefer the Disney version of Peter Pan over Barrieâ€™s surreal original work, but Monroeâ€™s fascinating reimagining brings out all the creepy undertones of never wanting to grow up." Publishers Weekly

All boys grow up, except one.

On the tenth anniversary of her mother's death, fourteen-year-old Madge Darlingâ€™s grandmother suffers a heart attack. With the overbearing Grandma Wendy in the hospital, Madge runs away to Chicago, intent on tracking down a woman she believes is actually her mother.

On her way to the Windy City, a boy named Peter Pan lures Madge to Neverland, a magical place where children can remain young forever. While Pan plays puppet master in a twisted game only he understands, Madge discovers the disturbing price of Peter Pan's eternal youth.
