Liz Braswell

Liz Braswell majored in Egyptology at Brown University and spent the next ten years producing video games. Also, under the name Tracy Lynn she wrote Snow and Rx, and, under her own name, the Nine Lives of Chloe King, Stuffed and several other Twisted Tales, including A Whole New World, Once Upon a Dream, As Old as Time, and Part of Your World. She also has short stories in Geektastic and Who Done It and a new series of reimagined fairy tales coming out, starting with A Whole New World—a retelling of Aladdin. In Straight On Till Morning: A Twisted Tale (Disney-Hyperion) sixteen-year-old Wendy Darling’s life is not what she imagined it would be. The empty house after her brothers have gone to school, the dull parties where everyone thinks she talks too much, and knowing her parents have decided to send her away to Ireland as a governess makes her wish things could be different. Wendy’s only real escape is in writing down tales of Never Land. After nearly meeting her hero, Peter Pan, four years earlier, she still holds on to the childhood hope that his magical home truly exists. She also holds on to his shadow. So when there’s an opportunity to travel to Never Land via pirate ship, Wendy makes a deal with the devil. But Never Land isn’t quite the place she imagined it would be. Unexpected dangers and strange foes pop up at every turn, and a little pixie named Tinker Bell seems less than willing to help. But when Captain Hook reveals some rather permanent and evil plans for Never Land, it’s up to the two of them to save Peter Pan-and his world. Melissa de la Cruz, author of The Isle of the Lost Series, called Braswell’s previous book A Whole New World, “A magic carpet ride of a book.”
