So when Captain Hook's pirate ship appears in the sky above London and swoops down to kidnap the cynical young lady, it's fair to say that she has to reconsider her worldview.
Held captive in Never Land, Jane discovers that Hook is still out to get Peter Pan - but can she find a way to help Peter avoid the pirate's trap?

Official World Book Day GBP1 book From Michael Morpurgo, co-founder
of the charity Farms for City Children, this charming story for
early readers evokes the wonder, muck and magic of a week on the
farm. The first of many Farm Tales to come, it is a window onto the
countryside, and the way its landscape and animals can leave an
impression on a child's heart forever. 'You're farmers for a week,
so you'll be busy. There'll be no time to miss home. You'll eat
like kings and queens, sleep like logs, and you'll hardly be out of
your wellies, except in bed.' When a young boy goes from the city
to stay on the farm, he discovers a world he never knew existed - a
world of vegetable gardens, ducks and geese, where the sheep graze
in the fields, where apples and pears grow in the orchard. He also
meets Jemima the pig: she smells and she slobbers, she breaks out
of her pen to steal potatoes, and she's the undisputed queen of the
farm. Soon, he's hiding acorns in his pockets to feed to her every
time he sees her. But then, Jemima starts to feel ill. Could she
have eaten too many acorns? Or does this queen of a pig have a
secret...?
It started with a simple question: How can we help them? It became
an international movement called NEGU: Never Ever Give Up. When
Jessica Joy Rees was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor at
age 11, she chose to focus not on herself but on bringing joy and
hope to other children suffering from cancer. During the ten months
she battled cancer, she and her family worked in the "Joy Factory"
(originally their garage) making JoyJars (R)-packages filled with
toys, games, and love for other kids with cancer. Jessie first
handed them out personally at the hospital where she was being
treated, but the effort blossomed quickly and there were soon
thousands of JoyJars (R) being distributed across the United States
and to over fifteen countries. Today, more than 100,000 kids have
received JoyJars (R), and they continue shipping each week to kids
in over 200 children's hospitals and 175 Ronald McDonald Houses.
Jessie lost her battle with cancer in January 2012, but her message
lives on in the Jessie Rees Foundation, which has become a beacon
of hope for families fighting pediatric cancer. Join the movement
at www.negu.org.
