The 9th book in the New York Times bestselling Villains series tells the tale of the rise and fall of the infamous pirate, Captain Hook—a boy who grew up. Before Peter Pan and Wendy. Before the Lost Boys. There was just a boy named James who wanted to get back to Neverland. As a baby, James Bartholomew fell out of his pram and was taken to Neverland. James is claimed by his parents just shy of seven days—after which he would have officially become a Lost Boy. Once he returns to London, he never stops thinking about Neverland. As he grows up, he hates his life in London, and everything to do with growing up and eventually becoming a gentleman. So he seeks a position on the ship of the infamous pirate, Blackbeard. On Blackbeard's ship he learns to be a cutthroat pirate, and eventually becomes captain of his own ship, which James is determined to sail to Neverland. With the help of the Odd Sisters and a bit of magic, he just might get his wish. But returning to Neverland comes at a price—and now that he's grown up, the whole world seems to be rooting for his demise…

      A Peter Pan origin story centering the perspective of Capt. Hook. The notorious baddie started life as a precocious child in London. In fact, at one point the infant James Hook vanished from his pram when his nurse's attention was elsewhere. Six days later, after a magical sojourn in Never Land, he was reclaimed by his family--but he continued to long to return there. Years later, disenchanted with his aristocratic life, Oxford-educated James leaves everything behind to become a pirate in hopes that this path will eventually lead him back to Never Land. Entering the world of piracy with loyal servant Smee by his side, James engages in many battles at sea, being attacked by a kraken as well as human enemies and experiencing time moving at a different rate. After Capt. Blackbeard hands his ship over to James to command, James confronts witches and other magical beings, including Tinker Bell. In the vein of other entries in this series that offers alternate perspectives on beloved tales, readers will hear Capt. Hook's perspective on how his infamous feud with Peter Pan began. This fast-paced, intriguing, and immersive story will capture the attention of its readers with its page-turning adventures and themes of trust and betrayal. Characters read as White. Full of magic and laughs. (Fantasy. 12-14)
