Preliminary feedback for This Side of Neverland:

“The intricate movements of the plot structure and the shifts in narrative tone create a high-energy aura. And the sheer quirkiness of the characters, especially Mr. Darling, is a pleasure,but its not a cheap pleasure. It encodes wise and compassionate comments about eccentricities.” —Janette Turner Hospital
