Osborne, Melissa Jane The Wendy Project, 91 pgs. Emetcomics, 2016. $12.99. Language: PG (two swears); Mature Content:
PG; Violence PG. Graphic Novel.
The Wendy Project is loosely based on the Peter Pan
story. When Wendy loses her little
brother, Michael, in a car accident, she is convinced that he has been taken away
by Peter Pan. The lines between modern
day high school and fantasy blur as Wendy tries to find a way to Michael and
thinks she sees Neverland characters at school.
Wendy’s therapist has her write down her thoughts in a book. The reader is left to determine whether
Neverland really exists or is a coping mechanism.
The book has a great idea as it takes on
dealing with grief and loss, but it was a confusing read. The reader is left to draw a lot of
inferences on their own, which may be great for a support group, but difficult
as an individual read.
MS/HS-OPTIONAL.
