I decided I needed to read this since we are seeing the show in San Francisco next month. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed every minute of it and when the book ended found myself wanting to read the next one. ( )

I think I read this book much too fast. I really enjoyed the story. I would love to read it again and the whole series. Dave Barry is a very humorous writer; I remember my grandparents reading his article out loud all the 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.

Fabulous fun! I could feel the waves under the ship and smell the salt air. Peter Pan is surrounded by unforgettable characters, involved in a riveting plot, and give new life by these capable (and surprising) authors. Narrated by the magical voice of Jim Dale (of Harry Potter fame). ( )
