Wendy Darling learns. What appears to be good may prove otherwise, and what seems to be evil...is irresistible.
Wendy struggles to keep the Lost Boys safe from the Island's many hazards, but she finds a more subtle threat encroaching from an unexpected quarter: the children are growing up, and only Peter knows the punishment.
Yet in the inky edges of the Island, the tales Wendy tells to the boys come true. Captain Hook is real, and even the Wonderful Boy can't defend his Wendy against this menace. Insidious and seductive, Hook has his reasons for tempting Wendy to grow up.
Revenge is only the first.
Deepening the characters so artfully sketched by J.M. Barrie, Hook & Jill reveals the dark side of innocence at which Barrie hinted in the figure of Peter Pan. It brings alive a daring Wendy who asks questions and seeks truth; it delves into the man, Hook, the iconic villain. Striding from fairy-tale and thrusting into reality, Captain Hook becomes a frightening force indeed.
