James Hook of "Neverland" has loved and lost his darling mermaid but she is reborn in the form of a mortal, Trishelle. Hook's fairy godmother brings Trish from the mortal realm to Neverland to ease James' troubled heart. This is not the story we grew up reading or watching but it is an interesting take on the fairytale world. In these "bad boy" stories the glass slipper is on the other foot, so to speak. We find out that the boys aren't quite as bad as we'd been led to believe but just bad enough. Ms. Hall has taken an old story and made it new again with delicious, delightful characters. I've never rooted for the so called villian before but in this case it was a distinct pleasure. Bravo, Ms. Hall.
