Don't even think about starting this book
unless you're sitting in a comfortable chair and have lots
of time. 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, but the journey quickly becomes
fraught with excitement and danger.
Discover richly developed characters in the sweet but sophisticated
Molly, the scary but familiar Black Stache, and the fearless
Peter. Treacherous battles with pirates, foreboding thunderstorms
at sea, and evocative writing immerse the reader in a story
that slowly and finally reveals the secrets and mysteries
of the beloved Peter Pan.
