I liked the characters and some of the things they do and see but it was a little bit too hard for me to understand the whole story. I didn't finish it, but my mom and dad did.

Twelve-year-old Jocelyn dreams of becoming every bit as daring as her infamous father, Captain James Hook. Her grandfather, on the other hand, intends to see her starched and pressed into a fine society lady. When she's sent to Miss Eliza Crumb-Biddlecomb's Finishing School for Young Ladies, Jocelyn's hopes of following in her father's fearsome footsteps are lost in a heap of dance lessons, white gloves, and way too much pink.
So when Jocelyn receives a letter from her father challenging her to avenge his untimely demise at the jaws of the Neverland crocodile, she doesn't hesitate-here at last is the adventure she has been waiting for. But Jocelyn finds that being a pirate is a bit more difficult than she'd bargained for. As if attempting to defeat the Neverland's most fearsome beast isn't enough to deal with, she's tasked with captaining a crew of woefully untrained pirates, outwitting cannibals wild for English cuisine, and rescuing her best friend from a certain pack of lost children, not to mention that pesky Peter Pan who keeps barging in uninvited.
The crocodile's clock is always ticking in Heidi Schulz's debut novel, a story told by an irascible narrator who is both dazzlingly witty and sharp as a sword. Will Jocelyn find the courage to beat the incessant monster before time runs out?

Really liking it, and I think it is great. But the characters aren't that well laid out and described, but there is quite some times when you have to hold your breath to see what the results are. Pretty intense and good.
jocelyn wants to be just like her father, captain hook. The only problem is that it's pretty hard to be like her father when she gets sent to Miss Eliza Crumb-Biddlecomb's Finishing School for Young Ladies. When jocelyn recieves a letter from her father challenging her to avenge him, jocelyn finds that being a pirate is not as easy as she thought. i liked this book and would recommend it to fans of the classic peter pan.
This book was AMAZING!!! It was full of action and fun. At first, you think it will be an okay-ish book. Then, slowly, but surely, it blossoms into a wonderful adventure book.

This book pokes fun at the Peter Pan books, but it doesn't have the same spark that the originals have and the characters simply fall flat. I don't recommend this book at all.
i personally have always been a fan of the whole peter pan world but not many others but this book is awesome action packed and i loved every part of it. i reccomend this book to all
