Book Review: Never Land: Cave of the Dark Wind by Dave Barry (Author), Ridley Pearson (Author)
By Angela Youngman Nov 20, 2008, 17:58 GMT
Another in the Neverland series revisting the world of Peter Pan. James and the Lost Boys find a forbidden cave containing the lair of a creature known only as 'the Goat Taker'.
It becomes the start of a terrifying adventure underground as the boys flee through a labyrinth chased by Captain Hook and his pirates. At stake is an ancient treasure - and the survival of the lost boys.
Can they solve the mystery of the Cave of the Dark Wind and avoid being caught? The pace is fast and attention grabbing. Older children will enjoy reading this for themselves while it is also a good story for reading aloud to groups or younger children.
A series of black and white illustrations make the book extra atmospheric bringing scenes and characters vividly alive. Well worth reading.
