Resumen del Editor

In the vein of Gregory Maguire’s bestselling works, the award-winning artist Brom takes us on a haunting look at the true world of Peter Pan, in his first full-length novel. From modern day New York to the dying land of Faerie, The Child Thief reveals the world of Peter Pan through the eyes of an insecure runaway who is seduced by Peter’s charm. But any dreams of a fairy wonderland are quickly replaced by the reality of life and death survival as Peter’s recruits are forced into a lethal battle in which the line between good and evil is blurred.

Brom does it again!!!

Amazing stuff!

Love the story ... the ideas behind it and the narrative.

Outstanding work, Brom!

My favorite book of all time

This is in my opinion the best book I ever read! For lovers of peter pan this is a twist on the classic story you can't miss

Great spin on peterpan! Although......

I think the book was absolutely amazing! Except for how much the rider dwells on certain aspects, for example I understand that it is important to Petray the seriousness of death, But I feel there was too much emphasis in a lot of the deaths. But ultimately I think this “more accurate“ description of the original Peter Pan is immensely refreshing and was enjoyable. There is just a few things that I think the winter Should’ve done differently

Good stuff.

This is a great story. So far this has to be the best Peter Pan story. The only complaint I have is with the authors Afterword. He postulates that because modern children play video games they would take to mayhem and actual murder (with sword and spear) very easily. This is false. Yes, there will be exceptions of course. You will have the odd sociopath or whatnot but someone who just plays video games all the time? No. I am not a gamer, but I know many. Their social skills leave much to be desired. If someone does nothing but engage computer games, the first time they shoot a real weapon the physical shock alone can scare them. (Children especially). Give them a sword and say "go kill this scaly monster eating your new friend over there." Nope. He is wrong about that. What people do in digital makes no difference to how they react to the real world. Besides that this story is wonderful. Enjoy.

Great story teller.

I really found this to be a wonderfully imaginative story. How can one person be so talented at both art and writing? After listening to this story I will be collecting his books.

Pretty Solid

Pretty solid reimagining of Peter Pan. If you wanted Peter Pan to be more gloomy like how a story of a kid kidnapping kids should be.

loved it. sad it had to end

love kirby's narration and was pleasantly surprised to find it was him. the story is amazing and let me enjoy a new twisted, dark, and emotional version of peter pan. I also loved the educational references and Greek mythology

Peter what have you done

Brom this is the first of his stories but I am so going to be getting the next. I'm speechless such amazing writing. horrifying events. a really good way to tell them.

5 STARS

LOVE THIS BOOK!!!! THATS ALL I CAN SAY!!!!! THIS IS A MUST HAVE! ( NOT FOR LITTLE ONE)

Diverse characters and good voices

Not your regular Pan! He's completely likeable, yet not completely sane...what you would expect a centuries old boy-man living in a fantasy world to be like. Book isn't any blood-red than what you'd probably expect, so don't fret that part. Solid listen!
