Waiting on Wednesday (124): SECOND STAR


WOW is hosted by Breaking the Spine


SECOND STAR by Alyssa B. Sheinmel
May 13th, 2014 by Farrar, Straus, and Giroux

A twisty story about love, loss, and lies, this contemporary oceanside adventure is tinged with a touch of dark magic as it follows seventeen-year-old Wendy Darling on a search for her missing surfer brothers. Wendy’s journey leads her to a mysterious hidden cove inhabited by a tribe of young renegade surfers, most of them runaways like her brothers. Wendy is instantly drawn to the cove’s charismatic leader, Pete, but her search also points her toward Pete's nemesis, the drug-dealing Jas. Enigmatic, dangerous, and handsome, Jas pulls Wendy in even as she's falling hard for Pete. A radical reinvention of a classic, Second Star is an irresistible summer romance about two young men who have yet to grow up--and the troubled beauty trapped between them.
Peter Pan contemporary retelling? So fun! I love the sound of it (awesome cover, too). 

What are you waiting on?

  3. oh, wow, this one sounds great! I love Peter Pan, and most of the retellings stick to the storyline, but this one seems to completely against the grain. I haven't heard of Second Star yet, so I'm glad I did hear about it today!
