Let me begin by saying that I absolutely LOVE this book. I was so excited when I found out it is a prequel to Peter Pan. Everyone loves the story of Peter Pan. I know we only had to red the first 95 pages, but I couldn’t put it down. I have less than 100 pages to go.
I don’t know if this makes sense or not but the characters are so developed. They are so intriguing. I feel as if I know them. Molly is my favorite character. She is so confident. She marches right up to Peter and asks him about his intentions to jump ship. Furthermore, she has green eyes. I absolutely love green eyes.
The plot is intriguing. Events start happening quickly, and the author maintains the pace throughout the book. There are several twists in the plot.
One of my favorite scenes, is when the mermaids attack Slank and Little Richard. As a child, I wanted to be a mermaid. I like how they had shark teeth in the beginning, but by the end of their encounter, they were more women than fish.
Children will love the super natural aspect of the story, as did I. The super natural fascinates most people. It will draw children into the book. Even though the book is long, it is not a boring. I will include this book in my classroom library.
Yay Ashley! You will become addicted to these books…there are now 4 in the series!
