Peter was the leader of the orphan boys because
he was the oldest – or so he claimed. And because he could spit the farthest.
Not that it did him much good, shipped off aboard a leaky old bilge bucket to
be the servant of a tyrant king.
But Peter and his mates aren't the only ones on the Never Land...
Why is a trunk holding "the greatest treasure on earth" aboard the stinking,
worm-ridden ship? Does it contain gold, jewels – or something far more
mysterious and dangerous? And what is Molly, the beautiful daughter of a
rich diplomat, hiding from Peter?
Turn back the clock on J. M. Barrie's classic Peter Pan in this impossible-to-put-down
tale of skulduggery and treachery, raging storms and bone-crushing battles, mermaids
and talking porpoises.
