straight on till morning by liz braswell

Her mother has handed off all the responsibility of raising her brothers and running the house to Wendy while she goes off to socialize. Her brothers have gone off to school and she’s stuck at home.

But after four long years, Pan still hasn’t returned and Wendy is getting desperate. In Braswell’s tale, Peter Pan still loses his shadow in a tussle with the loveable Nana and Wendy does tuck it away for him to return. Straight on Till Morning has a new and refreshing twist And that one little twist changes everything.

Braswell writes her twisted tale with the assumption that Wendy travels to Neverland with Captain Hook instead of Peter Pan. Straight On Till Morning takes the opening of Peter Pan, but twists it. Which was all a big lead-up to Liz Braswell’s take on the Peter Pan story, Straight On Till Morning. If Peter Pan and Wendy follows the pattern of the other recent Disney remakes it will be a more or less faithful reproduction of the old movie with just a few additions to bring it up to a two-hour running time.īut all the best remakes should bring something truly new to the table. Now Disney is getting ready to release a live-action remake of their classic animated movie from 1953. It’s a story that has been done many times. Peter Pan hears Wendy’s stories about his adventures and is so enamored with himself in the tales that he brings her to Neverland to be a mother to him and the other lost boys. We all know the classic tale of Peter Pan and Wendy. Instead, what if Captain Hook took Wendy? In Straight On Till Morning, Liz Braswell uses these words to imagine a world where Peter Pan never took Wendy to Neverland. “What if?” changes everything that went before and allows something completely new to happen. What if? They’re only two little words but they are some of the most powerful in the English language.
