The Pan Matthew Eldridge

Take a journey with one of the world's most popular orphans, Peter Pan, as he leaves his native land, England, in search of adventure. Traveling across the Atlantic Ocean, Peter makes some new friends and villainous enemies as well. Eventually, he discovers the place where a boy should never ever be-Neverland: The land of pirates, natives, zombies, missionaries, and Wendy's orphans, the Lost Boys. And while Peter vows to never grow up, he can't help but to mature into a young man, faced with the attraction of a beautiful young woman. But Peter's entrusted with a secret: He can stay young forever, after all. He only needs to discover the clues to finding and unlocking the Fountain of Youth, while battling the dreaded Captain Hook for the same prize. Matthew Eldridge's version of the Peter Pan story is a dark, humanistic, yet innocent adventure, dipped in realism with true settings and believable characters. Join Peter, Wendy, John, Michael, Tiger Lily, the Lost Boys, Captain Hook and many others as they fight their way from Neverland to the Fountain of Youth. This is not a fairy tale, but a historical action adventure following the life of the boy who refuses to grow up. This special edition of The Pan benefits impoverished Native American children living on reservations. Many of these native children live in deplorable, third world country-like conditions.
