We all know how the story of Peter Pan goes... now find out how the boy and his friends (and enemies) came to be.
I had trouble putting this book down once I got past page one, which made this a very fast read.

I loved this story! It was an easy read for myself (day or two) and I am now reading it to my 9yr old son. It was a bit too much for him to undertake himself but it is the perfect book to read to an older child that likes pirates and a little bit of freight. I wouldn't read it to my 6yr old quite yet.
I would definately recommend this book to others, adults and children alike.

Enjoyable "precurser" to Peter Pan story.
A surprisingly different version of Peter pan discovering powers and having adventures.
Good book
This truly delightful book will answer questions you never knew you had about the origins of Peter Pan. Told with humor and thrilling adventure, this adventurous tale tells how Peter came to be an ageless, flying boy hated by Captain Hook (and how Hook ended up with that hook), where Tinkerbell came from and why they're living in Neverland. All is revealed in this amazing fantasy concoction by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson. By time Captain Hook raises his corset-shaped sail in hot pursuit, you'll be so absorbed you won't be able to put the book down until you get to the end. Like the seven Harry Potter books, this is definitely a book you will want to pass down to future generations to enjoy.

Great series, very interesting and somewhat believable series of events explaining the origins of central characters of the peter pan series including Hook who was first called "black 'stache" worth reading.
great spin on the original peter pan story! i love it!
I thought that this was a really fun read. It gives a new spin to earlier parts of Peter's story prior to what we're familiar with from the Disney movie. Even though it's a read aimed towards children, it was written well enough that I didn't find myself annoyed by overly-dramatic teens and sub-standard plot. I'm definitely looking forward to more in the series!
My children (ages 14, 11, and 4) LOVED this book! It was fun to discuss it with each other, and hard not to tell what was going to happen! It was very exciting, and made me glad I had gotten it! It's tough to find a book that everyone in the family can enjoy together!
