Interpretation Conducive To Books The Child Thief

Peter is quick, daring, and full of mischief—and like all boys, he loves to play, though his games often end in blood. His eyes are sparkling gold, and when he graces you with his smile you are his friend for life, but his promised land is not Neverland. Fourteen-year-old Nick would have been murdered by the drug dealers preying on his family had Peter not saved him. Now the irresistibly charismatic wild boy wants Nick to follow him to a secret place of great adventure, where magic is alive and you never grow old. Even though he is wary of Peter's crazy talk of faeries and monsters, Nick agrees. After all, New York City is no longer safe for him, and what more could he possibly lose? There is always more to lose. Accompanying Peter to a gray and ravished island that was once a lush, enchanted paradise, Nick finds himself unwittingly recruited for a war that has raged for centuries—one where he must learn to fight or die among the "Devils," Peter's savage tribe of lost and stolen children. There, Peter's dark past is revealed: left to wolves as an infant, despised and hunted, Peter moves restlessly between the worlds of faerie and man. The Child Thief is a leader of bloodthirsty children, a brave friend, and a creature driven to do whatever he must to stop the "Flesh-eaters" and save the last, wild magic in this dying land.

Write Up Containing Books The Child Thief

This review was also posted on Books With Chemistry.In a small corner of Prospect Park, in the borough of Brooklyn, New York, a thief lay hidden in the trees. This thief wasnt searching for an unattended purse, cell phone, or camera. This thief was looking for a child.I think you all know Im a girl with a twisted mind. The dark, gory, pessimistic and disturbing things fascinate me to no end. That is not something new. Since a kid, I was pretty cynic. It is no surprise then to say I always saw

What a wickedly dark and twisted re-imagining of the classic Peter Pan story. Dont expect the Disney version of cute Tinkerbell and ever friendly playful Peter. This tale will show you the dark side of every single character and all the shades in between.The story interweaves the tale of Peter Pan with some mythology of other origins (as the author notes explains at the end) and initially shows Peter Pan as the character portrayed in the Disney version who saves kids from abusive homes, runaways

If the girl could only have spoken to the other boys and girls, the ones that had followed the golden-eyed boy before her, she would have known that there is always something left to lose. This is a story you know - in a way. You remember how it goes, right? A boy called Peter appears to children and promises to take them to a better place, a place where they will never grow up and never get old. Of course we all know this story. But... what if it wasn't all that it seemed? What if Peter held

3.5/5stars 4.5/5stars February 4, 2018 update: I've decided to lower my rating for this book. It simply didn't stick with me at all and I get comments pretty often saying people picked it up because of me, and I kinda cringe being like "eh... that wasn't actually that good" but my review does not reflect that. I'm putting this one down to 3.5 stars simply because, again, it didn't stick with me at all and looking back the writing really was awful and the book much more mediocre than I

4.75 ⭐"Don't let them steal your magic" Oh wow. Oh wow. THIS WAS AMAZING. The Child Thief is a retelling of Peter Pan but a lot darker and I am here for it. I heard about this book about 2 years ago and like literally EVERY BOOK EVER I put off reading it for no reason whatsoever and I so regret that. Peter is a "child" (he's really like thousands of years old but he doesn't age and such remember) who travels to the real world and lures children who have had a rough life or are going through a

Okay, its unpopular opinion time, as I go against the 5-star flow for this book.3 stars, and Im being generous."The Child Thief" is an original take on the Peter Pan story, complete with outstanding illustrations by the author (who is also an artist, apparently) at the start of every chapter. The story itself is very dark and brooding; even early on, somehow I knew not to expect a happy ending.Im not going to reiterate the plot; read the blurb for yourself. But just know ahead of time that this
