Peter Pan

"Peter Pan" is a fantasy book, written by J.M.Barry. Although it was written back in 1911, its thrilling and unique story has managed to remain well known and respected up until this day. The book is considered to be a children's book, but its message can relate to adults and youngsters alike. I found the book to be very inspiring, because of its important message, and the interesting issues it deals with.

The book centers around a teen-aged girl named Wendy, who leads a very joyful life, full of imagination and games, with her two younger brothers. One day, Wendy's father decides that Wendy has to grow up and stop living her immature life. It is then that a boy who hasn't grown up, Peter Pan, appears and takes Wendy and her brothers to a magical land named "Wonderland", in which one cannot grow old.

The book narrates the thrilling adventures of Peter, Wendy and her brothers in Wonderland. Those adventures help Wendy learn, along with the reader, how important it is to grow up and face responsibility. She learns how to value the adult world- an important message that everyone should learn.

I enjoyed every minute of reading the book. J.M.Barrie writes in a humorous way, making the reading extremely light and enjoyable, and the book's unique story and characters make it difficult to stop. Therefore, I dearly recommend the book for every person of any age.

Great!
