«The Special Trustees of Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, who own the copyright to the movie «Peter Pan», marked that work's centenary by authorizing the creation of a new novel that would share the same characters as the original, and bring as much pleasure to children and adults around the world as «Peter Pan» has done. The result of a worldwide search to find just the right author for this special sequel is this — «Peter Pan in Scarlet» by the renowned and multi-award winning Geraldine McCaughrean. Set in the 1930s when the devastating effects of World War I are still resonating throughout the world, «Peter Pan in Scarlet» sets listeners on an unforgettable journey fraught with danger. All is not well. Dreams — nightmares — are leaking out of Neverland as it chafes against the Here and Now, wearing holes in the fabric in between. Somehow Time is moving on where Time was never meant to. Fearing for Peter Pan's life, Wendy and the Lost Boys find their way back to Neverland — with the help of the fairy, Fireflyer — only to discover adventure waiting in ambush and their worst nightmare coming true in the most unexpected of ways!»

Neverland is calling again... Something is wrong in Neverland. Dreams are leaking out-strangely real dreams, of pirates and mermaids, of warpaint and crocodiles. For Wendy and the Lost Boys it is a clear signal-Peter Pan needs their help, and so it is time to do the unthinkable and fly to Neverland again. But back in Neverland, everything has changed-and the dangers they find there are far beyond their dreams... Specially commissioned by Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children as the winner of their competition to write the official sequel to J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan, Peter Pan in Scarlet is a thrilling adventure that you will never forget. Proceeds from every copy sold will go to benefit Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children.

Nathan loves pirates — his days are spent dreaming about them and wondering what it would be like to be one. Anything to brighten up his grey and dreary existence. So when Tamo White, the son of a real-life pirate, suggests that Nathan go home with him to Madagascar, it is too good a chance to miss. There's just one problem... Nathan's sister, Maud. He can't leave her behind but will she really be able to survive in a strange land full of pirates? You never know — perhaps she'll adapt better than Nathan, or even she herself, could ever have imagined... Plundering Paradise will whisk you away to a distant land and fill your senses with amazing sights, sounds and beautiful colours. You will feel as though you've really visited Madagascar and have lived among the pirates and the islanders.
