Ever wonder how Peter discovered Neverland, how the mermaids came into being, how Peter learned to fly or how exactly Captain Hook lost his hand? In this prequel to J M Barrie’s classic “Peter Pan”, we learn the answers to these questions and more.
Peter is the leader of a group of orphan boys who find themselves on a rust bucket of a ship, named The Neverland, bound for Rundoon. They soon learn they are destined to be servants for the horrible King Zarboff the Third, ruler of Rundoon.
Also on the ship is Molly Aster, an apprentice Starcatcher and daughter of the ambassador to Rundoon. She and Peter strike up a friendship, which turns into an alliance when she finds the shipment her father was following with the intention of keeping it from the King, has ended up on her ship instead of his. This being a chest of “starstuff”, a magic material that falls from the sky giving among other things happiness, power, increased intelligence, and the ability to fly.
Black Stache, a fearsome pirate who commands a villainous crew has heard of the treasure, the greatest treasure to sail the seas and he wants it. But the crew of the Neverland under King Zarboff’s control and Molly are not going to give it up easily. The fighting soon moves from aboard the ship to an island inhabited by indigenous people, mermaids and of course Mr. Grim.
