She once dreamt of having wild adventures, wrestling crocodiles, sword fights, and swimming with mermaids, only to find herself keeping house, and raising children. With only the directions, "second star to the right, and straight on till morning," Wendy sets off on a journey to find the life for which she always knew she was destined.
