Like the first book, this one barely keeps you interested through the first half and then it gets much better. All the stuff Peter went through in London before he met up with Molly just seemed like a bunch of fluff and probably could have been left out for a quicker, more fast-paced read. Once Molly and Peter are reunited, the story really picks up and gets interesting again.

Never read a more scary villain in my short life (that's coming from someone who can't sit through anything horror related). I am in love with these characters and the engaging plot!

Another delightful prequel. Again you see the early shape of what will eventually be Peter Pan. And you can't beat Jim Dale as a narrator on the audio version!

Good solid storytelling, intriguing continuation of the origin story of Peter Pan. Enjoyed by both my 7 and 11 year olds.

The kids couldn't wait to get to the 2nd book. The writing team of Barry and Pearson is amazing. We are loving the story, fantasy, adventure, all of it.
