Alyssa B. Sheinmel

Seventeen-year-old Wendy Darling sets out to locate her missing surfer brothers and finds herself on a secluded California beach where she meets a tribe of young renegade surfers, learns to surf and falls in love, in a radical reinvention of J. M. Barrie's classic tale.

What was that ending? 

I can't even write down how disappointed I am in this book. 

At least the cover is pretty.

A really unique reinterpretation of the Peter Pan fairy tale that focuses on Wendy Darling's search for her two lost brothers. I loved the surfing imagery and how Wendy learns to love this dangerous past time while trying to prove her brothers are not lost to the ocean, but maybe just to drugs. The love triangle is overwrought (Peter vs the character representing Captain Hook) and I don't really get some of Wendy's choices, but would recommend for a quick, light beach read.
