Elizabeth Ward reviews Peter Pan in Scarlet for the Washington Post. And, she really likes it:
- "If her tale is not also as dark, that's because McCaughrean just doesn't give a toss about Barrie's iron bars. Grown-ups can get back to Neverland in her book. Hook can stir our sympathy. Autumn can revert to summer. Sequels are possible. And for once, we believe."
