For those of us that would love to see the downfall of one, Peter Pan, this would be the most delightful tale to ever be penned, I am sure. If you enjoyed this tale, you may also want to explore some other Peter Pan re-tellings like Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson or All Darling Children by Katrina Monroe. The last, a horror-filled offering, may really appeal to those who want to delve more into the potential shadows of Neverland. There's a price to pay for never growing up. In that tale, as in this, Peter pays it without a qualm. Orson Scott Card has claimed that many elements of M. Night Shyamalan's The Sixth Sense were plagiarized from Lost Boys, although he has said that enough had been changed that there was no point in suing. [18] [19] See also [ edit ]

We learn of his early life, when he is simply, Jamie, chosen by Peter Pan to be Peter's first and best boy.A young man named Jamie tells the tale of the worst villain he's ever known... an impish boy named Peter.

In the end, all of them are adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Darling, like in the original play, except Slightly, who instead is adopted by Aunt Millicent. Yes folks, I am yet again reading another Peter Pan retelling. Lost Boy by Christina Henry is another young adult fantasy retelling of Peter Pan that flips the script and shows a much darker side of the Peter Pan that we all knew from the original. His first mainstream horror novel, Card has stated that Lost Boys was one of his hardest to write due to the emotional nature of the subject material. [8] [9] It is widely regarded by those who have read it as some of his most intense, personal writing. [10] It was published by HarperCollins in 1992. [11] Reception [ edit ] Like many of Card's works, the novel is an expansion of a short story, his "Lost Boys", which can be found in his short story compilation Maps in a Mirror. [4] According to Card, his original idea for the short story was inspired by Stephen King's Pet Sematary and his dislike of the novel's ending. He wanted to write a story in which the ghost child was not evil, but good. [5] In the short story version, Card assumes Fletcher's role as the protagonist. Some minor plot details are different in this story, such as the protagonist's occupation (an editor for a video game magazine), and the story is told from a first-person perspective instead of the novel's third-person perspective. Though he refers to many real events, such as his writing of Ender's Game, the short story is also completely fictional. Because of his use of himself and his real occupation, real locations and real people, Card had to append a special note stating that the story is fictitious as he received criticism that his story was appropriating the grief of losing a child. [4] [6] [2] However, the character Zap was inspired by Card's son with cerebral palsy. [2] According to Gary Westfahl, Card's short story is "moving" but "deeply offensive" and the "epitome of Card's self-absorption". [7]
