As Gregory Maguire did with his \u003cem\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/em\u003ebestselling \u003cem\u003eWicked\u003c\/em\u003e novels, Brom takes a classic children’s tale and turns it inside-out, painting a Neverland that, like Maguire’s Oz, is darker, richer, more complex than innocent world J.M. Barrie originally conceived. An ingeniously executed literary feat, illustrated with Brom’s sumptuous artwork, \u003cem\u003eThe Child Thief \u003c\/em\u003eis contemporary fantasy at its finest—casting Peter Pan, the Lost Boys, even Captain Hook and his crew in a breathtaking new light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e“Ancient magics combine with feral logic to culminate in Brom’s The Child Thief. A retelling of Peter Pan spanning America’s earliest, magically rich beginnings to today’s bare whispers of belief. Wickedly poetic, The Child Thief makes me want to believe.”\u003cbr\u003e“Brom has always been an artist who gave us his nightmares fully realized, but with THE CHILD THIEF, he paints in words. A wonderfully nasty Peter Pan reboot that stands on its own as a dark, twisted adventure.”\u003cbr\u003e“A gruesome and darkly fantastical twist on a classic tale. Brom injects pure horror into fantasy.”\u003cbr\u003e“Beautiful and authentically dark.”\u003cbr\u003e” [A] fascinating work of dark epic fantasy that blends elements of the Peter Pan story with characters from Celtic and Norse mythologies.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9780061671340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Harper Voyager","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":41052569239758,"sku":"9780061671340","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/9780061671340.jpg?v=1648178176","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9780061671340","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
