Brom's Peter is a modern urban fairytale where the centuries-old forever-child Peter leads children fleeing from drugs, sexual abuse, and lives in which they don't matter into a world where they are made to fight for their survival. These Lost Boys bear more of a resemblance to "Lord of the Flies" than any cutesy animated troupe.

I enjoyed the book. I felt a wide range of emotions when I read this book, from anger and disgust to compassion and hope. The book shows there is good and bad in all of us.
