Never Never By Brianna Shrum - Starting Mach 3rd AND March 19th 2016

[Abi]

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.

Who else will be doing this?

Sorry I'm late! I've been away for a few days so couldn't update to say I've started!

Chapter 2 (view spoiler)[ I didn't expect the book to start with Hook being so young, but still really intriguing (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 7 (view spoiler)[ Peter Pan is very controlling in this retelling!! And so calm about killing pirates!! His rules are a bit unrealistic - no growing up and no getting taller! I wonder when Hook will go off on his own (hide spoiler)]

[Rachel]

Chapter 20 (view spoiler)[ I definitely feel sorry for Hook, but he does some silly things! But I really don't like Peter! Tiger Lily is interesting, though I do wonder how she doesn't see the bad side of Peter! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 25 (view spoiler)[ I wonder why Hook is aging faster in Neverland that he would in the real world? Also, I wonder how his parent think he died (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 30 (view spoiler)[ maybe wendy has shown up, maybe that's why Tiger Lily has decided to finally choose Hook? (hide spoiler)]

Finished - overall I liked this, but i felt it was slow a lot of the time. Not much seemed to happen.
