Peter Pan’s Neverland has a new adventure. The Neverland Thieves by Katie and Kevin Tsang arrives on 24 September.
The authors already know how to build big adventures for young readers. Together, they created the Dragon Realm and Dragon Force books as well as the Sam Wu Is Not Afraid series.
What is The Neverland Thieves?
The book returns readers to the magical world associated with Peter Pan and Captain Hook. However, Katie and Kevin Tsang tell a new story rather than simply retelling the original.
What age is it for?
Simon & Schuster lists the book for readers aged eight and over. The hardback runs to 320 pages. Therefore, it should suit confident primary-age readers who already enjoy chapter books.
It could also work well as a shared bedtime read for children who enjoy longer stories but do not yet want to tackle 300 pages alone.
Why revisit Neverland now?
Classic stories can sometimes feel distant to modern children. A new adventure gives young readers another route into the world. It may also encourage children to compare different versions of Neverland.
One for the autumn reading pile?
Yes, particularly if your child likes fantasy, adventure or stories that take them into another world. A recognisable setting can also make trying a new book feel easier.
