Second Star by Alyssa Sheinmel
3.0

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.
