The book starts with Jamie (Hook) as a young boy. He is the first of Peter's lost boys and his best friend (if Peter can have friends).
However, Jamie soon (well soon after the book begins) starts to realize Peter's idea of "fun" may not be what it seems.
Peter is a dark version of what it would be like to truly be a child forever. He has just enough life experience and intellectual development to know how and why to do things, but has not grown enough emotionally to care what the repercussions are for his actions (or he is just a sociopath).
