SISTERS OF THE NEVERSEA

Narrator Katie Anvil Rich brings vibrant characters to life in Smith's reimagining of PETER PAN. In this version, Lily is Muscogee Creek; her stepsister, Wendy, is English; and their younger brother, Michael, is both. As the siblings are swept off to Neverland, their stubbornness, creativity, and love for each other prove to be sizable challenges to the mores of Pan's volatile realm. Rich's inventive delivery is beautifully matched to the world-building and characters. Through multidimensional portrayals of Native children, the Lost, and the Pirates, and the perspectives of Wendy, Lily, and Bell, listeners delve deeper into the magic and cruelty of Neverland, seen in a completely new way. Rich's warm tones and fervent pacing bring out the heart and intensity in this stunning adventure. K.S.B. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2021]
