4.0 out of 5 stars History of the first 'Lost Boy'

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2016

Verified Purchase

Neverland has always been a place of safety for the pixies, but, the magic is dying, and along with it the pixies. Only one pixie, Tink, has the courage to try and do something about it. Tink crosses the barrier to the land of humans in search of someone who still believes in magic, the only way to save Neverland. In the city of humans, she finds a boy; a wandering spirit who is escorting other souls to find homes. She faces a challenge, though; can she convince Peter to accompany her back to Neverland?
Pan: The Untold Stories of Neverland by K. R. Thompson is the first book in the Neverland series; the back stories of the characters that make up the magical stories that we all know. In this introductory story we learn the history of the boy who became Peter Pan, leader of the Lost Boys. Told with equal measures of humor, pathos, and fantasy, we get to know Peter, a boy desperately seeking the life he once knew, and the beginning of a magical relationship that has entertained generations of those of those of us who still believe in ‘magic.’
This is a fairy tale that will appeal to readers of all ages.

3.0 out of 5 stars An different backstory of Peter Pan

Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2016

Verified Purchase

I got this free. It is well written and edited. Even though Peter Pan is not my favorite character and I never read the novel Peter and Wendy by JM Barrie, I have always liked the idea of Neverland and flying with pixie dust. I also enjoy different retellings. This was darker than I expected it to be even with the profession Peter has when he and Tink cross paths. I can't help just feeling sad for both Tink and especially the Lost Boys through Peter's behavior/choices. Told from Tink's point of view, it is very interesting how Neverland comes about to being inhabited. I do not feel the end was a cliffhanger as some reviewers say, yes, the story is clearing going to go on, but the story of Peter was concluded. If I had to recommend a book about Peter Pan, I would suggest I Am Pan: The Fabled Journal of Peter Pan by Boyd Brent.

I did accidentally buy the second one, Hook, which I probably wouldn't have bought on purpose, but I'm rather pleased with it. I just started it and I'm enjoying it far more than Pan -- probably because I'm personally more interested in character when I've never really liked Peter Pan.

“Magic can only exist when someone believes…” (Thompson, p. 8).

Pan will tell you a tale of how Peter Pan came to be. This magical novella is sure to enchant you. Thompson has created an imaginative faerie tale of the beginning of Peter Pan and what we know as Neverland.

The Plot: Neverland and its pixies are dying. Brave little Tink decides it is time to find someone to come to Neverland who will believe in the magic that keeps them alive. She comes across Peter and promises him he will always be a boy and she will always be by his side. Together they will find more lost boys to journey to Neverland to believe.

This was a cute little novella. It is the beginning of entire series of “Untold Stories of Neverland” including a story about Hook and about a mermaid. I applaud Thompson’s effort for creating these prequels to the classic tale of Peter Pan. This novella was magical and imaginative and I cannot wait to continue the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars I wish I could give higher than 5 stars

Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2016

I read this series out of order, but in the order the books were written. I understand how some reviews claim the Pan is too short or is missing something, but trust me, if you read Hook first you will understand why Pan is short. It is however the perfect introduction to this incredible series. It also is important to understand that Ms. Thompson wrote this series based off the original Peter Pan, not the Disney 'follicking through the tulips' version. The original has dark undertones showing how life isn't always rainbows and lollipops. Ms. Thompson gives a very realistic and solid reasoning why lost boys go to Neverland and aren't missed by those in the "grown-ups" world. I wish I could give higher than 5 stars because this whole series deserves it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Pan Story

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2015

I actually stumbled across K.R. Thompson by accident. There is an event coming up in a town near where I live and I planned on going to this event to meet another author. I decided to go to the events page on Facebook just to see what would be there besides the author I was going to see. As I am scrolling through I see some musicians and, of course, some great looking food. After scrolling for a minute I saw a post by an author that was going to be there and she said, “I’ll be there with my books. :) (Pictures of a few…)” Below the post there were pictures of a few of her book covers. I saw the cover for Pan: The Untold Stories Of Neverland and it really intrigued me. I pulled up Amazon to see what this story was about (see above),and I thought it sounded really interesting so I instantly bought it.

Peter Pan is such a classic story. I remember when I was little I would watch the Peter Pan featuring Mary Martin as Peter Pan. “I’m flying (flying, flying, flying!!) Look at me way up high, Suddenly here am I, I’m flying.” Admit it you were singing along and probably smiling.

Peter Pan is one of those stories that just sticks with you and you will always remember. K.R. Thompson tells us how each of the characters became who they are. As the title tells you, we learn about Peter Pan and how he came to Neverland. Peter’s journey to Neverland is not full of roses either. We also learn a little about the Lost Boys as well.

Pan is only about 70 pages, once you start reading you really get sucked into the story and it just flies by. The writing is very solid and there is no point in the story where I felt like it dragged.

As any good writer does, Thompson leaves you wanting more. In fact, make sure you have Hook (The Untold Stories of Neverland Book 2) handy. I promise you will want to start it as soon as you finish Pan.

Pan sets up a great foundation for what I believe will be a very good and entertaining series. I believe any fan of Peter Pan will want to have this story in their collection.

Rating: 8/10 Stars
