Summary
What if Wendy first traveled to Neverland… with Captain Hook？
Sixteen-year-old Wendy Darling's life is not what she imagined it would be。 The doldrums of an empty house after her brothers have gone to school， the dull parties where everyone thinks she talks too much， and the fact that her parents have decided to send her away to Ireland as a governess-it all makes her wish things could be different。
Wendy's only real escape is in writing down tales of Never Land。 After nearly meeting her hero， Peter Pan， four years earlier， she still holds on to the childhood hope that his magical home truly exists。 She also holds on to his shadow。
So when an opportunity to travel to Never Land via pirate ship presents itself， Wendy makes a deal with the devil。 But Never Land isn't quite the place she imagined it would be。 Unexpected dangers and strange foes pop up at every turn， and a little pixie named Tinker Bell seems less than willing to help。
But when Captain Hook reveals some rather permanent and evil plans for Never Land， it's up to the two of them to save Peter Pan-and his world。

I think my favorite so far of the Twisted Tales series。 I really liked the changes they made between Wendy and Tink by making them find ways to work together。

Honestly did not enjoy this one as much。 Some of the stylistic choices in the writing were kind of off putting to me。 And ultimately I didn’t really like the story all that much。 I enjoyed the progression of Tink and Wendy’s relationship but was disappointed by all the other characters。 Such a let down for me because I enjoy Peter Pan。

The only part I liked about this book was the epilogue。 If the rest of the book was more like the epilogue I would’ve liked it more。 Or at least I assume so because I don’t remember a single thing that happened in this book。 I know I read it， because at multiple times I slammed my head against the cover lamenting how positively dry and boring and campy it was， as well as how misleading the first two chapters and description are， but yet I don’t remember a single plot point。 Was there a comprehen The only part I liked about this book was the epilogue。 If the rest of the book was more like the epilogue I would’ve liked it more。 Or at least I assume so because I don’t remember a single thing that happened in this book。 I know I read it， because at multiple times I slammed my head against the cover lamenting how positively dry and boring and campy it was， as well as how misleading the first two chapters and description are， but yet I don’t remember a single plot point。 Was there a comprehensive plot or did this just read like a bunch of sticky notes thrown into a pile together ？ Up to you to decide if you want to trudge through this。 。。。more

I really enjoyed this book from Wendy’s POV。 I liked the friendship and bond that was created between Tink and Wendy and enjoyed the young woman that Wendy became。 I really， really liked how it all ended。 The last scene was perfect。 My only suggestion was that it could have easily been shaven down a good 50-100 pages and it would have made the pacing more enjoyable， however I still recommend it as a whole。 4/5 stars

I like the new grown up understandings of neverland and its residents。 Wendy is grown but craves adventure。 She decides to go back to neverland， by any means necessary。 It's dark， it's mature but it's still the characters we love。 I like the new grown up understandings of neverland and its residents。 Wendy is grown but craves adventure。 She decides to go back to neverland， by any means necessary。 It's dark， it's mature but it's still the characters we love。 。。。more

2。5* Unlike how Go the Distance， the first Twisted Tale I read， was an extension of the story we know and love， Straight on Till Morning was a totally reimagined version of Peter Pan。 I can’t say that I liked it。 I can’t say I disliked it。 The story followed a 16 year old Wendy as she adventures through Neverland with Tinkerbell to try and save it from Captian Hooks planTo destroy it。 Wendy being 16 is what I think bothered me the most。 This character of Wendy did not read as 16。 She read as may 2。5* Unlike how Go the Distance， the first Twisted Tale I read， was an extension of the story we know and love， Straight on Till Morning was a totally reimagined version of Peter Pan。 I can’t say that I liked it。 I can’t say I disliked it。 The story followed a 16 year old Wendy as she adventures through Neverland with Tinkerbell to try and save it from Captian Hooks planTo destroy it。 Wendy being 16 is what I think bothered me the most。 This character of Wendy did not read as 16。 She read as maybe 10 or 11。 While the fact that Wendy did not act 16 was hit on by the author quite a bit， it was still hard to get through。 There was also a strange amount of inappropriateness。 Overall， it was fine， but I wish it was better。 。。。more

I am extremely annoyed with this entire series。 This is the sixth Twisted Tale I have read， and only one was actually good。 Straight on Till Morning in particular should have been half as long as it was which would have sped up the pace and made things seem more urgent。 It’s disappointing to see some of my favorite Disney movies be changed into something boring and pointless。

Es un libro muy bonito que rompe con los esquemas del Peter Pan misógino y racista que todos conocemos。 Las protagonistas son en este caso Wendy y Campanilla y， esta vez， en lugar de pelearse por Peter， se vuelven mejores amigas y juntas son las que consiguen salvar el mundo。 Y a Peter。 Me ha gustado mucho la visibilidad que se le da a los temas tabú， como el machismo y racismo， y también visibiliza a las personas trans。 En definitiva， esta es la historia que debería haber sido “Peter Pan” en pr Es un libro muy bonito que rompe con los esquemas del Peter Pan misógino y racista que todos conocemos。 Las protagonistas son en este caso Wendy y Campanilla y， esta vez， en lugar de pelearse por Peter， se vuelven mejores amigas y juntas son las que consiguen salvar el mundo。 Y a Peter。 Me ha gustado mucho la visibilidad que se le da a los temas tabú， como el machismo y racismo， y también visibiliza a las personas trans。 En definitiva， esta es la historia que debería haber sido “Peter Pan” en primer lugar。 。。。more

Was not a great fan of Wendy in this book。 Towards the end it dragged and I started scanning。 The ending was ok。

I desperately wanted to enjoy this book， given my love of Peter Pan。 The only parts I did enjoy were the best of the book， a rising friendship between two characters who did not have much of a connection in the original story。 But should have。

This book was VERY long and in my opinion a bit dragged out。 I liked the friendship between Wendy and Tinker Bell it was very different than the movie。 I liked the plot and the mention of other characters， but like I said it was too long。

Straight On Till Morning - A Twisted Tale by Liz Braswell⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Loved it！ Highly Recommend*“You told stories so wonderful that Peter Pan came to listen—to stories about himself！ Your telling stories invited Never Land into your home。”*Peter Pan has always been one of the most popular classic stories， and really I understand why。 It has pirates， mermaids， and fairies， kids never have to grow up and parents aren’t there to boss them around。 It’s one of those “all the elements are there” type of Straight On Till Morning - A Twisted Tale by Liz Braswell⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Loved it！ Highly Recommend*“You told stories so wonderful that Peter Pan came to listen—to stories about himself！ Your telling stories invited Never Land into your home。”*Peter Pan has always been one of the most popular classic stories， and really I understand why。 It has pirates， mermaids， and fairies， kids never have to grow up and parents aren’t there to boss them around。 It’s one of those “all the elements are there” type of stories like Princess Bride。 But despite loving the creatures and elements of Peter Pan， or at least the Disney version I am familiar with， it always bothered me how much Wendy was made fun of just for being a girl。 Girls in the movie are either just super pretty or “only good at being a mother。”{side note: The “Peter and the Starcatchers” series by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson does not follow the generalizations above and are some of my favorite books of all time}I love that in this book， Wendy is a bit weird for her time。 She daydreams and writes stories and stands up for girls！ The author did a great job at giving a deeper heart to Wendy and allowing her to be a more complex character than just Peter-crazy。 *#Disney #PeterPan #Tinkerbell #Neverland #TwistedTale #CaptainHook #Pirates #Mermaids #fairies#bookstagram #books #booksofinstagram #goodreadschallenge2021 #ilovethesmellofbooks #ireadbooks #ilovebooks #lovetoread #booknerd #addictedtobooks #bibliophile 。。。more
