As an adult, I personnally enjoyed this prequel to Peter Pan. Dave Barry et al have created an imaginative, kid-friendly adventure story reminiscent of Harry Potter, but set on island populated by natives, mermaids, and pirates. My family just finished listening to the audio CD, which I also recommend. It is read by Jim Dale, the reader of the Harry Potter series. The story had an 8-year-old, a 13-year-old and my husband completely engaged. It is great for long car trips through the desert.
