Neverland by Toby Forward, the ticking
crocodile ate Captain Hook, a computer
game character, The Driller, menacing
all, defeated by Father to save his kids
Peter Pan returns to Neverland alone
Tinkerbell became Tink wearing make-
up with four earrings in one ear, a stud
in one nostril, always angry and plotting
A modern rebel, JM Barrie’s Darling family
became Mr and Mrs Hack, learning the hard
way to allow their kids freedom to enjoy life
after making their lives a misery
Forcing muesli and sensible shoes on them
the parents discover the joys of corn flakes
and lovely shoes when their kids disappear,
love it that Mr Hack finds muesli disgusting!
[Read the book last night, lovely to discover
Mr Hack who backed his wife when she forced
the kids to eat disgusting muesli, had some
himself when the kids disappeared and dis-
covered to his horror how awful the stuff;
went out and bought them all kinds of corn
flakes with sugar; and Mrs Hack bought
them the shoes they prefer after forcing
ugly shoes on them before; the parents
should have been bonked over the head
long before then!]
“Neverland” by Toby Forward (Author), John Talbot
