16-year-old Wendy Davies crashes her car into a lake on a late summer night
in New England with her two younger brothers in the backseat. When she wakes in
the hospital, she is told that her youngest brother, Michael, is dead. Wendy,
once a rational teenager, shocks her family by insisting that Michael is alive
and in the custody of a mysterious flying boy. Placed in a new school, Wendy
negotiates fantasy and reality as students and adults around her resemble
characters from Neverland. Given a sketchbook by her therapist, Wendy starts to
draw. But is The Wendy Project merely her safe space, or a portal between
worlds?
