Synopsis:
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.
It's a nice cover! The title reminds me of another book by Colleen Hoover though. It has the same name.
ReplyDeleteI really like this cover, especially the cloud! :)
DeleteI've heard of Colleen Hoover, just not that book. I haven't decided on if I want to read her stuff yet.
I love the ship! It looks so haunted.
DeleteIt looks like a short read and it received a lot of good reviews. I, myself haven't read it yet but will soon.
The ship is pretty cool. I hope it's a good book. I'd love to read a great Peter Pan retelling!
DeleteI looked up the Colleen Hoover book, and it does seem to have a lot of good reviews. I might give her a chance one of these days. lol
Yeah, I've never read a Peter Pan re-telling. Mostly, there's Cindererlla, Snow White and that sorts.
DeleteI don't think I have read a Peter Pan retelling, either. I know there is a retelling called Tiger Lily that I wanted to read a few years ago. I still have to get to that one, but I have seen a lot more princess-y retellings.
