What is the true story of Captain Hook?
As debut author Joshua B. Gibbs reveals with this swashbuckling story, Captain Hook’s true origin will surprise you!
His story begins on Blackbeard’s own ship, the Queen Anne’s Revenge. Scrawny James Crichton may not have the physique of a pirate, but he certainly has the attitude. It doesn’t take long for the scheming sailor to take over the ship for himself, but his ambition leads him to a wondrous and frightening new place.
In his zeal to replace Blackbeard, James drinks from the tiny vial the pirate captain wears around his neck. He is instantly transported to the island of Neverland. Here, in a land of monsters and myth, the captain can live forever, but it comes at a price. James is ripped away from the only world he has ever known and suddenly dropped into a land where magic is real and all the legends are true.
To escape his fairy-tale prison, James turns to the one whose name is whispered throughout the island—Peter Pan. He believes the boy has the key to getting back to the real world, but at what terrible cost?
