They have been together literally longer than Jamie can remember. When the novel begins, he loves Peter best of all. Jamie is that character, a nurturing type who looks after the other Lost Boys while Peter plays his games. Lost Boy is a gory, gutting retelling, one that would not work without a strong central character we know, like, and understand. I wanted to know about who he was before he was Hook.”
“The ground of Hook as an adult has been walked by many other writers and filmmakers,” Henry told Den of Geeklast week at San Diego Comic Con. Here, Peter is not a reckless, innocuous youth who never wants to grow up he is a dangerous sociopath who values his games and eternal youth above all else. Through his young eyes, we see Neverland and Peter Pan like never before. The story of Lost Boy.Īs advertised, Lost Boy tells the story of Jamie, the original Lost Boy and the boy who will become Captain Hook. The characters and world of Peter Pan is in safe hands. I should not have doubted author Christina Henry, who also successfully added to and commented upon Alice in Wonderland canon with her novels Alice and Red Queen. Not only is Peter Pan one of my favorite stories of all time, but I worried that this book was simply jumping on the Villain Retelling Bandwagon. I was predisposed not to like Lost Boy: The True Story of Captain Hook, a Peter Pan prequel from the point-of-view of Captain Hook.
