About This Book
A mischievous boy who never grows up visits a London nursery, recovers a lost shadow with the help of a kind girl, and whisks her and her brothers to a magical island where fairies, mermaids, and a band of Lost Boys share adventures. They encounter a ruthless pirate captain whose feud with the boy leads to daring raids, rescues, and narrow escapes. The girl becomes a maternal storyteller for the island children, tensions of loyalty and growing up surface, and after confrontations and a return to the city she matures into domestic responsibilities while the eternal boy remains unchanged, embodying the tension between childhood freedom and adult obligation.
