Don't even think of 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-and 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.

I read this book some time ago and was reminded of it recently. It was a really good book, one I could not put down. Too many late nights. How did Neverland get there? Peter Pan? Fairy dust? Who was Captain Hook anyway? Wendy? Well, this fun and thrilling book gives us some supposed history on the childhood classic, Peter Pan. I would recommend this book for the average 3rd or 4th grader. The suspense is there, but nothing graphic. My daughters read this in 3rd and 4th grade and gave it to several friends as a book of choice for gifts. That must indicate that it is really quite a good read.
Note: I have not read any of the other books in this series.
