Lost Boy by Christina Henry (Paperback)

Everyone knows the story of Peter Pan and the magical island where children never grow up. But there is another side to the tale, one told by the boy who once stood beside him. Before he became Captain Hook, he was simply a boy who believed in Peter and the promise of endless adventure.

Peter brought lost boys from the Other Place to his island, a world without rules or adults. At first it seemed like freedom. Days were filled with games, battles with pirates, and the thrill of living forever as children. But Peter’s need to be the centre of everything slowly reveals a darker side to his world.

As the boys begin to realise the truth behind Peter’s games and the cost of defying him, the island becomes far more dangerous than it first appeared. Loyalty, fear, and survival shape their lives as the bond between two boys begins to fracture.

Lost Boy retells the legend of Peter Pan from a darker perspective, revealing the events that turned a loyal friend into the infamous Captain Hook. Through this haunting reimagining, the story explores friendship, power, and the price of believing in someone who refuses to let anyone else shine.
