Description

Wendy Darling spends her childhood in a tidy London home, listening to her parents' practical concerns while dreaming of a world where time stands still. The everyday rhythm of bedtime stories, school, and the devoted nurse Nana feels comforting, yet Wendy senses an ache for something beyond the ordinary. She watches the city’s rooftops and imagines adventures that might lift the inevitable march toward adulthood.

One night a lively boy named Peter bursts into her room, trailing starlight and the promise of a place where children never grow up. He invites Wendy, her brothers, and their faithful dog to follow him to Neverland, a realm of perpetual twilight, pirates, and endless play. As they step into the unknown, Wendy must choose between the safety of home and the thrilling freedom of a world that defies the rules she has always known.
