LOST IN THE NEVER WOODS

Narrator Avi Roque delivers this retelling of the classic Peter Pan story in a tone of childlike wonder that transitions into a devastating story of trauma and loss. Five years ago, Wendy's brothers disappeared in the woods behind their house. Now more children are going missing, and Wendy is forced to confront her fragmented memories about her brothers' disappearance as well as the sudden appearance of the magical boy from her childhood stories. A few minor errors in character voices and narration will be noticeable by the most focused listeners, but overall this is an interesting story for those looking for a grittier version of the classic tale.
