Peter is an orphan that is sent on a ship named the Never Land that is headed to Rundoon which is rules by King Zarboff who is rumored to feed people to his snake. Several other orphans from St. Norbert's are traveling with him as well. On their ship was a daughter of a British ambassador, Leonard Aster. Also on this ship is a mysterious trunk that was supposed to be on the other ship, known as the Wasp, with her father. Conditions aren't very good for the boys and Black Stache, the notorious pirate, is looking for the trunk. They end up on a island and then things really get crazy.

I didn't want to read this book for a long time because I love the original Peter Pan story and I didn't want it ruined, but I really enjoyed this book. There is so much that happens in this story and the action seems to never stop. I love the crocodile! and the Indians! This book offers so much.

This video isn't really exciting, but I love the music and it shows the next books in the series.
