This is the 7th Hook-focused book I’ve read, the 6th origin story (I just like to establish what number I’m on each time I review another one lol). Despite the book being based, at least in part, in Neverland, it wasn't until the Odd Sisters were part of the conversation that I felt any real magic about what was happening.Depending on the age it’s meant for, I obviously understand the story isn’t going to delve into certain things.

The 9th instalment in the hugely successful Villains Tales series, based on Disney’s most infamous pirate, Captain Hook, tells the story of young James Bartholomew, the Lost Boy who never was. In this book their role in everything was extremely nasty, especially because as a reader you already know how Hook's wish to find Neverland will end.

Jack Skellington, the beloved Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, has grown tired of his home's annual scaring routines and longs for something new. On Blackbeard's ship he learns to be a cutthroat pirate, and eventually becomes captain of his own ship, which James is determined to sail to Neverland. There, they will find mermaids, fairies, pirates led by the sinister Captain Hook, and the crocodile who bit off his leg - and still pursues him in hope of the rest!

I struggled to get past the first third of the book, lacking a connection to James as a character and feeling like there wasn't really any plot for me to follow.
