Off the Bookshelf: DUST, by Kara Swanson

Heirs of Neverland, Book 1

I confess -- I got the book because of peer pressure!
And I'm glad I did it.
Lots of people in Realm Makers were talking about this book coming out. Eagerly anticipating it.

I can see why now. Wow ...

Claire, our heroine is a broken girl, searching for the truth of what happened to Connor, her brother who vanished six years before. She has a big problem: dust that constantly spills from her skin. Not just a medical condition, it can kill. Dust has put a wall between her and the rest of the world. It has destroyed her life, ripping away chances to have a family.

Claire doesn't trust the only clue her brother left behind -- a note written in a copy of Peter Pan, telling her he's heading for Neverland with Peter. For Claire, the faerie story has become a horror story.

When she gets a new clue that takes her to London, where she meets a police officer named Jeremy Darling, and the man who was seen with her brother six years ago is named James and has a hook for a hand ... yeah, it gets kind of scary. Dark. And confusing ... because Claire's dust is pixie dust, and it can either heal or it can kill, and she doesn't know who to trust while she races to figure out how to control it before time runs out.

Did you catch the part where this is Book 1? Really? I have to wait a YEAR to find out what happens next? Nooooooooooo!
