PlumfieldCH | Sep 22, 2023 |  Fabulous fun! I could feel the waves under the ship and smell the salt air. Peter Pan is surrounded by unforgettable characters, involved in a riveting plot, and give new life by these capable (and surprising) authors. Narrated by the magical voice of Jim Dale (of Harry Potter fame). (  ) rebwaring | Aug 14, 2023 | Pleasant prequel to "Peter Pan". The audiobook edition enhances some of the exciting adventures so I will give it 3½ stars. (  ) leslie.98 | Jun 27, 2023 | I chose this to listen to on a family trip because it's narrated by Jim Dale, the narrator of the Harry Potter series. He is hands-down my favorite audiobook narrator. This book has been described as fast-paced adventure, and it started of really fun and interesting. Then, I felt like the same thing was happening over and over. I am not very familiar with the Peter Pan story. Maybe if I were, I would have enjoyed this more. ( ) CarolHicksCase | Mar 12, 2023 | It seemed a bit drawn out. I saw the play and loved it. I don't think I would have stuck with the book if I hadn't seen the play. I will go on to the second book hoping it is better. ( ) AnnEly | Nov 19, 2022 |
 Pearson and Barry offer a deft combination of laughter and fear -- that is, fear undergirded by a sense of final safety. It's a roller coaster of a plot in more senses than one, and considering their publisher -- Disney, with its Tinkerbell logo well displayed here -- I don't suppose that's a surprise.
