Peter Pan is a character created by Scottish novelist and playwright J.M.Barrie (1860–1937). I take my hat off to Hayley for persevering with this classic, it is an unabridged version and it is a challenging read. A mischievous boy who can fly and refuses to grow up, Peter Pan spends his never-ending childhood adventuring on the small island of Neverland as the leader of his gang the Lost Boys. He has many adventures with mermaids, Indians, fairies and pirates. He also spends time with ordinary children. This classic has been turned into movies and television shows.

This blog contains reviews and comments on children's books which I own, have read, and would like to share. I look for books at markets and opportunity shops. They are cleaned up, covered and read. Then I take them to the classroom for students to read. Students can borrow the books at any time. Many books are also from my personal library, especially the Youth Fiction. Students can preview some of them on this blog. Now, I am also on the lookout for great new releases for my grandson Archie.

This book had a lot of words I didn't know because of the time it was written and sometimes I had to read sentences more than once to understand them. It had an interesting story and it was good to read the original story after watching the movie. I would recommend this book to someone who is a good reader because it is a challenging read.
