“An edgy thrill ride . . . a cleverly repackaged Peter Pan for teens, with characters and subplots that beg for a sequel.”—School Library Journal
“A shocking twist awaits the reader, giving this just enough to separate it from other Peter Pan offshoots.”—Booklist
She doesn’t believe in fairy tales. He doesn’t believe in growing up.
The night Wylie Dalton and her brothers sneak out of their Manhattan apartment to go to a rooftop party, she’s looking forward to one last night of freedom before her brother Joshua goes to juvie the next day. Then Wylie meets Phinn on the dance floor, and sparks aren’t the only things that fly. Soon she and her brothers are soaring over the city, and Wylie finds herself falling for the mysterious, charming stranger.
Phinn whisks them away to a remote island populated by a small group of teenagers who can fly and don’t age past seventeen, where life is one endless party. But when her new friends start mysteriously disappearing, Wylie discovers there’s more to this world than staying young forever. Someone on the island has a secret. Someone is lying. And someone will betray her. . . .

Sara Saedi
Sara Saedi was born in Tehran, Iran smack-dab in the middle of a war and an Islamic Revolution. As the story goes, she entered the world to the sounds of bombs exploding near the hospital. Though her memory of the day is a little fuzzy, the life and death stakes surrounding her birth helped prepare her for a writing career. Sara received a B.A. in Film and Mass Communications from the University of California, Berkeley and began her career as a creative executive for ABC Daytime. In 2010, she left the company to pursue her dream of being a writer. She’s since penned three TV movies for ABC Family, won a Daytime Emmy for What If…, a web series she wrote for ABC, and worked as a staff writer on the FOX sitcom The Goodwin Games. Most recently, she wrote a pilot for The Disney Channel and sold her debut YA novel Never Ever to Viking Children’s Books for publication in summer 2016. She currently resides in Los Angeles with her husband and her pug, Mabel.
