	Kidsreads.com - PETER PAN IN SCARLET by Geraldine McCaughrean
		In the eyes of many diehard fans of the original, the book's success would ultimately depend on whether McCaughrean stayed true to Barrie's initial vision when adding her own style and plot elements to the mix.
		Instead, McCaughrean's version is indeed just as fierce and dodgy as Barrie's original, and promises a nail-biting read from start to finish.
		McCaughrean clearly has done her homework, as much of the plot threads that are left dangling at the end of the original are assiduously woven into the fabric of the story in this version.

There have been numerous exquisite children's storybooks about this wonderful tale (Jane Ray's illustrated version and Judith Kerr's wonderful Mrs Monkey and the Ark spring to mind) but this is for older readers.
		McCaughrean takes a long hard and not always positive look at life on the ark for Noah's family.

	Scholar's Blog: The White Darkness - Geraldine McCaughrean
		You may remember that in December I shared Brandon Robshaw's review of Geraldine McCaughrean's The White Darkness, which is the story of Symone Wates, a 14-year-old girl, who is regarded as a dork at school, and whose best friend is the long-dead Captain Oates.
		She goes on a trip to Paris with her "Uncle" Victor (Victor is in fact her father's business partner) and then he takes her off on a madcap expedition to the South Pole, and it seems likely she'll share the fate of Oates and his comrades.
		This is very much a thriller and throughout McCaughrean gives clues to events in Sym's past that she recalls, clues that prove that Sym's recollections are not always accurate.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Books: Peter Pan in Scarlet, by Geraldine McCaughrean, Hardcover
		McCaughrean won a competition to pen this sequel to J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan (see Children's Bookshelf, Sept. 14).
		In the year's most hyped title for young readers, the much-honored McCaughrean delivers an "authorized" sequel that stays true to the original's style and spirit but speaks to modern sensibilities as well.
		McCaughrean also tucks in a band of humorously disaffected adolescents dubbed "Roarers," deft literary allusions from Barrie and other writers, reunions that range from tearful to shocking and (inevitably) a sequel-ready conclusion.
