Saving Neverland
Description
A wonderful whirlwind of magic and adventure, and every bit as enchanting as the original Peter Pan, Number 14 Darlington Road appears to be a normal townhouse, but magic is waiting to be found by the right person. Ten-year-old Martha Pennydrop discovers a drawer full of mysterious gold dust and a window that won't close, leading her and her brother Scruff to an extraordinary adventure in Neverland. Previously owned by the Darling family, their new home holds secrets that connect them to Peter Pan and a mission to save Neverland from a curse cast by Captain Hook. As Martha battles to reclaim her imagination and belief in magic, she must rescue Scruff and Neverland from peril.
