Twelve-year-old Heidi dreams of becoming every bit as feisty as her infamous father, Captain James Hook. Her grandfather, on the other hand, intends to see her constrained into the role of the perfect society lady. When Jocelyn recieves a letter from her father challenging her to avenge his untimely demise at the jaws of the Neverland crocodile, she sets off for the high seas with not a thought for the consequences.
Featuring a lively, colorful cast, and a droll narration with snarky asides by an anonymous, self-proclaimed pirate authority, this entertaining take on the Peter Pan story neatly blends action-adventure and comical and heartfelt moments - Booklist
