Do you want to know how Peter Pan go the magical power to fly? Or where the mermaids or the Lost Boys originated from? This is a children's novel by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson written as a prequel to the original Peter Pan story by J.M. Barrie. It is well written and I really enjoyed it.Dave Barry is a humor columnist for the Miami Herald and writes articles that are hillarious! If you want a good laugh, I'd recommend reading some of his material. This book, however, departs from his outrageously crazy stuff and actually presents a great children's story. There are two others so far in the series, but I haven't finished them. I'll keep you posted on how I liked them too.

It also departs from J.M. Barrie.
It has MANY mistakes in it.
I don't think one should ignore the facts when borrowing another author's story.
Pardon me for crowing like Peter Pan himself, but I've a novel out that's not only faithful to Barrie, but based on his idea for more adventure.
