Books like Never Never by Brianna Shrum
James Hook is a child who only wants to grow up. When he meets Peter Pan—an eternal child intent on never becoming a man—James decides to join him on a holiday to Neverland, a place of adventure birthed from children’s dreams. The island, however, is far from a simple escape, and James soon longs for home and resolves that he is destined to become a man. Peter refuses to send him back, trapping James in a world where children are meant to never grow up. Yet James grows anyway, and an epic adventure unfolds between a Lost Boy and a pirate. This story is not just about Peter Pan; it centers on the boy whose life he stole, a man in a world that hates men, and a Captain James Hook driven by a passionate quest to kill the Pan—an impossible feat in a magical land where everyone loves Peter Pan, except one.
