A Peter Pan retelling like you've NEVER seen before!! Emma, Norman and Ray are the brightest kids at the Grace Field House orphanage. And under the care of the woman they refer to as “Mom,” all the kids have enjoyed a comfortable life. Good food, clean clothes and the perfect environment to learn—what more could an orphan ask for? One day, though, Emma and Norman uncover the dark truth of the outside world they are forbidden from seeing.
Ray and Emma are on the clock as they hurry to figure out the mystery of the seven walls before Norman puts his eradication plan into place. And what a wild, intense, mystery popping ride!! There are reveals, teamwork, secrets and betrayal all crammed in this thrilling volume. We’ve been working up to this amalgamation of events and they payoff big time.
I loved how Ray and Emma really play off one another as they work through the maze and puzzle of the Seven Walls. It’s surreal and epic and mind twisting and a lot of smart fun. The teamwork though is a great lesson for kids reading this and writers take notice! We need more teamwork like this.
There was also more history and background of the world imparted. Getting that fleshing out of events is something that adult readers will really appreciate. For a manga this story is incredibly dense and impactful. I can’t wait to see where The Promised Neverland goes next! The next volume is sure to bring us more mysteries, betrayal and thrilling smarts.
