A year has passed in Neverland….
Initially triumphant after Hook’s ‘death’ at the hands of that crocodile, the spark has gone out of Peter Pan. Now totally disillusioned and after spending much time in London with Wendy, Pan concedes, it may be time for him to finally grow up…
Meanwhile, rumours circulate round Neverland…
Since no remains were ever found, could Hook still be alive?
It’s a thought that would once have put terror into the hearts of the Lost Boys.
But now, fearing that Peter Pan is going to leave them for adult hood, they realise there’s only one thing that can stop that and bring Pan to his senses…
The return to Neverland of Captain James Hook.
But no one knows where Hook is. Or if he really is alive. And how to find him?
The Lost Boys don’t have the answers, but they do know one thing…they’ve got to stop Peter Pan from growing up.
From Neverland to the back streets of London, it’s a dangerous race against time…
Tick tock, tick tock…
'A fantastic job of keeping the spirt of Peter Pan true to the original, while bringing new adventures to the reader. A fast-paced, rip-roaring adventure.'
‘…Charming and engaging….entertaining and original…a delightful return to the story of Peter Pan and an intriguing start to a series of novels welcoming a new generation to Neverland.’
‘Author George R. Mitchell whisks readers back across the stars to Neverland in this new sequel to Peter Pan, An Awfully Big Adventure. Captain Hook is desperate for redemption and revenge, despite being half-gobbled by a crocodile, while the Lost Boys need a reason to keep Peter around as their fearless and ageless leader. However, the temptations of the Darling family and the bustling streets of London may cause Peter to grow up faster than expected, leaving Neverland without a hero, and Hook without a nemesis. This respectfully written sequel honours J.M. Barrie's whimsical tone and emotional depth, while exploring timeless themes of responsibility, brotherhood, and the balance of innocence with experience. Fans of the original will be delighted by this take on the classic, taking the timeless characters in new and enchanting directions.’
