Summary: Wendy did grow up after saying
goodbye to Peter Pan in the Disney animated classic, Peter Pan.
Though now a mother, she still believes in Peter Pan and tells her
children about her adventures during her childhood years to comfort them
during the war-torn period in London while waiting for her husband to come
home. Unfortunately, her practical 12-year old daughter, Jane, refuses
to believe in such fairy tales. That is, until she finds herself kidnapped by the
infamous villainous Captain Hook. In Never Land, Peter Pan, Tinker
Bell, and the
Lost Boys are able to rescue Jane from Captain Hook and once again defeat the
pirate. Even with the revelation of Peter Pan, Jane still doesn't
believe in magic. Tinker Bell begins to lose her magical powers because a child
doesn't believe in her. Now desperate to return home, logical Jane
strikes a bargain with the sweet-talking Captain Hook to return his
"stolen" treasure in exchange for a trip home to London on his
flying ship. Will Jane
find out the true nature of the evil Captain Hook? Will she trust
Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, the Lost
Boys and have a little "faith, trust and pixie dust" to return home
to her beloved family? Will you journey with Jane to discover that
one doesn't grow up in Never Land and realize that life is too short to always be
practical and logical?
