I love, LOVE Peter Pan stories. I always wondered about his beginnings and what happened after the Darlings went home from Neverland. This book tries to tackle the story of what happened after the Darlings left, but I don't think it quite worked. First off when the original story of Peter Pan was told the story was set in England probably in the early 1900's? When there was no electricity nor cars. This story is supposedly 5 years later when the Darlings came home from Neverland and all of a sudden they are in the 21st century. HUH? Don't get why the author had to change the time period. I was hoping this story would be more like the series I had read by Barry/Pearson starting with "Peter and the StarCatchers". This series starts out before Peter became Peter Pan! Great imagination on what made Peter Peter Pan. It even tells us how Peter met Tinkerbell!!!! And you won't believe what Tinkerbell really is!  There's also another book by a different author about Capt. Hook. It was also a wonderful story of what made James Hook become Hook. The name of the book is called, " HOOK". These are some great stories about the characters that were from the original Peter Pan novel. Check them out they are a better read than this one.
