Description: " When eleven-year old Piper Pizzinni is flown from Seattle to the nearly-dead Neverland by an ancient fairy named Belle (once Tinker Bell), she learns two things: she is Peter Pan's granddaughter, charged with reviving the magical island, and she is five years too late to save her parents from the black dragon Sincoraz and its keeper, pirate Captain Li'l Jack. Bent on vengeance, she cannot fly, laugh, or crow. Bargaining with Belle to rescue the remaining seven foster girls from Fitch's Last Ditch Foster Home, Piper tries without success to turn the ragtag bunch into a fighting team before making good on her promise to learn to fly. Untimely capture leaves Piper condemned to drown at high tide, having learned Belle is responsible for far worse than betraying Piper's whereabouts. Vengeance pales against the hope of saving her longed-for Merry Band. But can it be done without her very-own fairy Belle and without being able to fly?"--Publisher's website.
