Can you guess how Magellan felt when he opened his eyes on April 27, 1521? "Ferdinand," he must have told himself. "Ferdinand, you have conquered the seas, explored the world, and installed empires, but you have not yet lived a life of joy." Wanderlust is the most difficult of my young emotions to curb. It grips me when I am working and burns angrily into my head. Jack Kerouac understood that, and tried to embellish the legend of manifest destiny through heart-breaking descriptions of bleak and beautiful America. I read a story of human history. But I felt like Magellan at the end..."We went 10,000 miles together Jack, but ended up nowhere." Maybe that's the point. Maybe not?

Peter is quick, daring, and full of mischief"and like all boys, he loves to play, though his games often end in blood. His eyes are sparkling gold, and when he graces you with his smile you are his friend for life, but his promised land is not Neverland. Fourteen-year-old Nick would have been murdered by the drug dealers preying on his family had Peter not saved him. Now the irresistibly charismatic wild boy wants Nick to follow him to a secret place of great adventure, where magic is alive and you never grow old. Even though he is wary of Peter's crazy talk of faeries and monsters, Nick agrees. After all, New York City is no longer safe for him, and what more could he possibly lose? There is always more to lose. Accompanying Peter to a gray and ravished island that was once a lush, enchanted paradise, Nick finds himself unwittingly recruited for a war that has raged for centuriesâ€"one where he must learn to fight or die among the "Devils," Peter's savage tribe of lost and stolen children. There, Peter's dark past is revealed: left to wolves as an infant, despised and hunted, Peter moves restlessly between the worlds of faerie and man. The Child Thief is a leader of bloodthirsty children, a brave friend, and a creature driven to do whatever he must to stop the "Flesh-eaters" and save the last, wild magic in this dying land.
