Lost Girl by Chanda Hahn

 Wendy doesn't remember her early childhood, but is plagued by nightmares of drowning and loss. She also see shadows that other people don't see.  Peter is a member of a group of children and teens who were genetically altered in a science experiment gone wrong.  Peter's group has the task to hunt down the shadow creatures Wendy can see. When Peter and Wendy come together, sparks fly, and both begin to see that their destiny's were intertwined long ago.

I decided I hadn't read a YA novel in a long time, and this one came highly recommended.  I was a little leery since the last Peter Pan remake I read wasn't that great.  This one turned out to be much better.  I thought Ms Hahn did a great job with both Peter's and Tinkerbell's personalities, and also with working in a lot of details from the original book into the new setting.  Wendy is pretty emotional--in love one minute, in despair the next--but that is kind of how it is with YA heroines. It is the first in the series, and I am not sure I will read the rest, but I might, (which is pretty high praise for me when it comes to YA).  (320 p. 2016)
