Really enjoyed this one with Lainey as the main focus. After a bad start to her day and feeling like she's too much of a bother to get friends and the fairies of Pixie Hollow, Laundry decides she's better off being on her own.
Things take an unexpected turn when she ends up in the home of the Lost Boys! So much fun to finally see these characters.
Looking forward to the next installment.

Another fun adventure with the Never Girls and the Never Fairies as they work through the feelings of feeling left out and overlooked. I have been reading this series with my 5 year old and she really enjoys the adventures the girls have and is always pleading for just one more chapter.
I would definitely recommend these to young readers, or readers who have parents that read to them.

The 6th book in the Never Girls series and this one features The Lost Boys. In the beginning of the book, the author dedicates the book to students at Hancock Elementary. It looks like they requested that the Never Girls have some boys be included in the story. Sadly with addition of the Lost Boys, the story did not really pick up. Peter Pan is mentioned in this book but, he is not really present.
The story follows NG Lainey as she causes a slight ruckus in Never Land after almost stepping on fairy Prilla. Prilla calls her the clumsiest clumsy(what fairies call humans). She feels super sad and goes off into the woods and there she discovers The Lost Boys. They have great fun together but, she misses her friends and the fairies @ Pixie Hollow.
I was a disappointed with this entry into the Never Girls entry. The story didn't really pop for me. The addition of the Lost Boys didn't add anything story. It was a quick read and I finished it in no time.

My 7 y/o enjoys these books so I am trying to read them too. This is the second book from the series I’ve read and I enjoyed it more than the first (the first book was “In a Blink”). It’s cute series and fun for kids to imagine Neverland and believe in magic. The book has decent length chapters and a few illustrations peppered throughout. It can be read as a standalone without reading any others from earlier in the series. I do wish the author had decided to write a more diverse group of friends are the main characters.
This book follows Lainey and her particularly bad day. I appreciate that this book had a stronger message than book #1.
“Maybe bad days are just bad days. It’s doesn’t mean everything is bad”

118 pages. Another great adventure in the Never Girls series. This time Lainey feels sad and mocked because when she accidentally almost stepped on Prilla while chasing a frog, she was called the clumsiest clumsy that ever lived. She decides to go deer riding on her own after the girls travel to Neverland. She manages to get way off the path. Lainey discovers there are boys on the island and learns all about their life. The others go in search of Lainey later and the adventures take off. Girls will especially enjoy this series. Highly recommended for Grades 3-5.

This is the sixth book in the Never Girls series that I'm reading with my daughter at bedtime. As usual she was excited to get through and finish another book with the characters she really enjoys. I am still enjoying them because of the love my daughter has for them and the fact I get to spend a little time snuggling with my little girl and reading a book! This one follows Lainey who may be my favorite character!

3.75/5
I liked this one. It gave more character to both Prilla and Lainey. I wish I could’ve learnt more about the pixie hollow games that were occurring, but I enjoyed it overall.
Also the introduction of the lost boys and the mention of Peter Pan definitely adds to the world building of the society.
I enjoyed Lainey’s perspective so another book from her point of view would be enjoyable

Finally! A Never Girls book that actually crosses paths, not with Peter himself, but at least some of the Lost Boys. When Lainie feels she has nothing to offer, she runs away and ends up having great fun with Nibs, Toodles, and the gang. The reader ends up having lots of fun too.

This is a sweet series, especially good for very advanced young readers. The writing is great and features a varied vocabulary, but the content is light and appropriate for little ones.

-this includes spoilers-
This was nice. I Liked how she kept on finding things her friends liked.. It kept me wondering about this. So, i read the back of the book "Far from shore" it ssays Kate Meets Peter Pan. But will the lost boys be in this too?

I think it's a very good book. Also, it's really like exciting and it also lets me connect to the story of Peter Pan. You know, all those boys that are in like wolf suits and shoot Wendy down. Lainey finds their lair and I like that part. It helps me connect to the story of Peter Pan.

So little happened in this book that it’s actually kind of crazy.

Excerpt:
Ever since four friends-Lainey Winters, Kate McCrady,Mia Vasquez, and Mia’s little sister Gabby- discovered a secret passage to Never Land, each day held the possibility of a new adventure. Mornings they woke up feeling like the luckiest girls in the world. Most mornings, that is.
What to say about the Never Girl book number 6, the book itself is ok, nothing fantastic or special at least this book and unfortunately I started from more than half way through the series. I have started a many of series half way through without realizing it without being overly confused, unfortunately with this book unless you have read the previous it’s hard to be left up to speed, with understanding Pixies and the rules. I will tell you though what I thought overall of the book and the story and writing as well as the illustrations themselves.
In the beginning of the book, the author dedicates the book to students at Hancock Elementary, which is nice and looks like which understandably a request may have been made to include so boys to break up all the girls and add to the story, sadly though with addition of the Lost Boys, the story did not really pick up. Peter Pan is mentioned in this book but, he is not really present. The story follows the Never Girls Lainey as she causes a slight ruckus in Never Land after almost stepping on fairy Prilla. Prilla calls her the clumsiest clumsy (what fairies call humans), after being called this she goes off into the forest where she discovers the Lost Boys.
Overview: With book number 6 follows Lainey and her friends; Lainey is clumsy and causes some trouble while in Never land. In Never land the girls meet the Lost Boys and Peter Pan, which Peter Pan she might as well not included because there was barley any focus on the character or how he really fits into the story. Adding the Lost Boys and Peter Pan served no real purpose to the story. What really got me is the jumping around without any clear indication of why or which girl they are talking about or how they ended up in certain situations or areas... It is a very popular series with great reviews but I’m not impressed by the style or the way it is written. Including the Lost Boys would have been a nice touch and Peter Pan, but unless you follow through with your characters (and you do not have to read the others to see there is no follow through on new characters or much attention), than what is the point, right? When introducing a character (S) there always should be a follow through, explaining a purpose, giving them one, nicely blending them into the story line, being clear and concise on them fitting in.
I was a disappointed with the book in the series but I do hope the others are better.
As for the illustrations, there quite simple and basic, not much dimension created from the scenery to the character. Its simple line work design, the lines for the wall not perfectly straight, looks freehanded. Normally would be a nice touch, but for the style of the book its overly simple and lacks much detail.

Not much plot, but a decent bridge story in order to introduce the lost boys.

August 13, 2016An 8-year-old started this in a R.E.A.D. session yesterday. The kid reads fast and well (how many 8-year-olds get "strewn" right off the bat?). I wasn't wowed by the book (only got through page 23 in our session), and apparently you need earlier books to get the back story and find out the rules for fairies (among other things). Also, at this stage the girls in the story are hard to keep straight. I've bought book 1 for my Kindle, and I hope reading that gets me up to speed.
This appears to be a popular series, so I was surprised that the county's library system doesn't have any of these books listed in their on-line catalog.
