When sixteen year old Abigail's parents die suddenly, she leaves her home and everything she knows in Florida, to live with an obscure cousin in England. Abigail is struggling with losing her parents, and adjusting to her new life, when the wind carries a strange boy in through her bedroom window. Abigail is immediately and desperately drawn to him. He has grown a bit older, and has a strange new darkness about him. Still, Peter Pan and the fairy friends he brings with him to visit Abigail, or Abbie Gale, as he calls her, are just what she needs to cure her loneliness. When Peter finally takes Abigail back to Neverland with him, she finds that it has changed. The once beautiful island has been neglected and is dying. The lost boys are gone, and Peter blames himself for their absence. Every minute seems to be full of adventure, but can Abigail learn to navigate the dangers of angry mermaids, jealous native girls, a crew of pirates, and Peter's erratic moods? She is falling hopelessly in love with the complicated magic that is Peter Pan, but the forces of the island and Peter's guilt seem determined to keep them apart. Abigail must find a way to heal the suffering of the island, as well as the suffering of its keeper in order to find her own happiness.
