James Hook is a child who only wants to grow up. When he meets Peter Pan, a boy who loves to pretend and is intent on never becoming a man, James decides he could try being a child - at least briefly. James joins Peter Pan on a holiday to Neverland, a place of adventure created by children's dreams, but Neverland is not for the faint of heart. Soon James finds himself longing for home, determined that he is destined to be a man. But Peter refuses to take him back, leaving James trapped in a world just beyond the one he loves. A world where children are to never grow up. But grow up he does. And thus begins the epic adventure of a Lost Boy and a Pirate. This story isn't about Peter Pan; it's about the boy whose life he stole. It's about a man in a world that hates men. It's about the feared Captain James Hook and his passionate quest to kill the Pan, an impossible feat in a magical land where everyone loves Peter Pan. Except one.

0Peter Pan was never my favorite. I was always suspicious of why he wouldn't grow up and how he came across these lost boys. Was he really saving them or something more sinister?
This story takes us through how Captain Hook came to be and exactly what happens in Neverland. Tiger lily is a big part of the story. The story is interesting and entertaining. My main issue was that some parts seemed appropriate for middle grade readers whereas other parts required an older audience.
