Neverland will never let go…

Hooked by A.C. Wise

by Leave a Comment

He remembers drowning. That single sentence, recurring often in Hooked, A.C. Wise's sequel to Wendy, Darling, is the cornerstone of the existential dread that permeates the story.

The Dire Days of Willowweep Manor by Shaenon K. Garrity

The Dire Days of Willowweep Manor graphic novel is funny, sweet, goofy, serious and a light read. There is a lot going on and it is also just a simple story of adventure.
