Hook & Jill by Andrea Jones

Hook & Jill...

About the Book

Wendy Darling learns. What appears to be good may prove otherwise, and what seems to be evil…is irresistible.

In this startling new vision of a cultural classic, Wendy intends to live happily ever after with Peter Pan. But Time, like this tale, behaves in a most unsettling way.

As Wendy mothers the Lost Boys in Neverland, they thrive on adventure. She struggles to keep her 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 Lost Boys come true. Captain Hook is real, and even the Wonderful Boy can't defend his Wendy against this menace. Hook is a master manipulator, devising vengeance for his maiming. 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.

Book Reviews

The Neverland of Hook & Jill is not the place of fancy-free fun and abandon many of us like to recall. Jones explores Wendy's feminine power, Hook's duality, and the various dimensions of the Lost Boys. This is not your nursery room Pan. – Brooks Sigler, author of Five Finger Fiction

Never growing up only sounds good until you grow up a little. Hook & Jill is an original take on the fairy tale of Peter Pan and Neverland. Taking place after the events of the classic fairytale, Hook & Jill has Wendy acting as a mother to the Lost Boys — but when Hook returns, Wendy is faced with the dark, more adult reality of growing up, and she is split between her childhood innocence and the joys of adulthood. Hook & Jill is fine spin on the classic, and very much recommended. – Susan Bethany, Midwest Book Review
