This is a really short version of J.M. Barrie's original. It is very easy reading and aimed at reading level grade 2.5.
.
to achieve this huge amounts of story have been left out. I found that it doesn't flow very well. Tends to jump from point to point and even i was confused as to where I was in the story.
.
While a child might find this acceptable, it drove me nuts. I can't recommend this book.
.
If you want a Peter Pan book to read, check my review of 'Peter Pan and the Star Catchers' by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson.
.
I have finally found a copy of what appears to be an un-abridged version of 'Peter Pan' and look forward to reviewing that in the near future. In the next few days I plan to post my review of 'The Child Thief'' by Brom, a different Peter type adventure.
.
Suggestions welcome of any other Peter Pan based stories. I do intend to find of copy of 'Peter Pan's Neverworld' by Peter Von Brown.

You read the most interesting books. I love the variety of subjects.
I hope you're still enjoying NaNo. We're heading for the homestretch.

Not a fan of shortened versions of originals - I think I'll give this one a miss as it sounds like a really poor imitation of what is a really good story. I look forward to your review of the un-abridged Peter Pan.
Hi again. :)
The paperback of
Peter Pan's NeverWorld
just came out on Amazon.
It's less expensive and has extra pix.
Another Peter Pan related novel worth its salt is Hook & Jill by Andrea Jones.
BELIEVE!
