Learn moreJames Hook is a child who only wants to grow up.
When he meets Peter Pan, a boy who loves to pretend and is intent on never becoming a man, James decides he could try being a child—at least briefly. James joins Peter Pan on a holiday to Neverland, a place of adventure created by children’s dreams, but Neverland is not for the faint of heart. Soon James finds himself longing for home, determined that he is destined to be a man. But Peter refuses to take him back, leaving James trapped in a world just beyond the one he loves. A world where children are to never grow up.
But grow up he does.
And thus begins the epic adventure of a Lost Boy and a pirate.
This story isn’t about Peter Pan; it’s about the boy whose life he stole. It’s about a man in a world that hates men. It’s about the feared Captain James Hook and his passionate quest to kill the Pan, an impossible feat in a magical land where everyone loves Peter Pan.
Except one.
Brianna R. Shrum has been writing since she could scrawl letters. She digs all things bookish, superhero-y, gamery, magical, and strange. You can usually find her writing in her librarious study and drinking chai (which she holds as proof of magic in the world.) She is also the author of The Art of French Kissing and How to Make Out. She lives in South Carolina with her high-school-sweetheart-turned-husband, her two little boys, and her extremely mischievous mutts: Sevro and Ragnar.
