The movie ‘BIG’, the story of PETER PAN, and the novel ‘THE UNTHINKABLE SHOES’ share a common theme – boys who become trapped in situations where their emotional age is incompatible with their physical bodies. After being disenchanted or traumatized with their lives, their consciousness shifts to ‘new worlds’ that pose even greater challenges.  A wish, a choice, or a promise triggers magical transformations that create situations of tension, conflict, and high stakes.

Paranormal energy is initiated when one boy makes a wish, another makes a choice, and yet another makes a promise.

The movie ‘Big’ featured Josh Baskin, a boy protagonist who becomes trapped in an adult body after making A WISH to grow up.

Peter Pan is a lost boy who stifles his growing-up by CHOOSING to remain in a Neverland fantasy.

Finn Cleary, in the ‘THE UNTHINKABLE SHOES’ is a five-year-old victim of the Titanic disaster who is unable to grow-up in his next life. After Finn makes AN UNTIMELY PROMISE, reincarnation traps him in his spirit form as a perpetual boy who died age-five with a terrible challenge. Finn is pressured into become the invisible childhood friend to the girl he’d been destined to marry. He appears as a child five-years-old even though he has the advanced awareness of every person he’s ever been in his past lives.
