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.
Hey guys! Today I have an excerpt from an interview I did with Brianna Shrum, author of Never Never.
Describe Never Never in a word.
Magical.
Peter Pan retellings have become really popular lately. What do you think it is that brings people back to that story over and over again?
I think Peter Pan is one of those stories that just encapsulates this particular magic and danger of childhood, and there is this combination there that EVERYONE can relate to in some way. It's this dark but also hopeful and childlike story that basically embodies magic.
