Ridley Pearson

A fast-paced, impossible-to-put-down adventure awaits as the young orphan Peter and his mates are dispatched to an island ruled by the evil King Zarboff. They set sail aboard the Never Land, a ship carrying a precious and mysterious trunk in its cargo hold, and the journey quickly becomes fraught with excitement and danger.

Loved this! I have literally been in love with Peter Pan since I was a toddler and this was a refreshing my dive back into the world of Neverland! It was fast paced, with chapters on the shorter side in a format similar to the Maximum Ride books. Creative and thoughtful backstory about how Peter Pan became Peter Pan, Lost Boys and Captain Hook and all. I don't know if I'll read the other books in this series, I'll probably give them a try, but I feel that this first book came to a satisfying conclusion of its own. We'll see!

I've found a new favorite. Of course, it's hard to not like a book narrated by Jim Dale. He is simply magnificent.

This book was simply fascinating. I love this sort of prequel series and all the allusions the authors made to the traditional Peter Pan story and other historical/mythological events. I find it fascinating that every well known artist/politician/etc was able to create/perform such marvelous works due to whatever magical item/idea lies at the heart of books like this. (Rick Riordan's books come to mind here, obviously.)

Barry and Pearson crafted a magnificent plot of back and forth/will they or won't they escape tension that beautifully came together in the end. I loved all the characters. Well, truthfully, I loved everything about this book. I think a good deal of that comes from Jim Dale's narration. I think he could narrate the phone book and I would declare it the next great American novel. (not quite but almost :D)

I highly recommend this book and the entire series!
