CAVE OF THE DARK WIND A Neverland Book

When Peter Pan is away, one should never think that the Lost Boys and Captain Hook will be without adventures. The boys' curiosity about the Mollusk tribe's tale of a horrific shipwreck and yearly goat sacrifices entices them up the mountainside and into the Cave of the Dark Wind. Hook enters the darkened tunnels, lured by treasure, boredom with a diet of clams, and, of course, the hope of capturing Peter's cohorts. None of them have bargained for a lost sailor or his vessel! Jim Dale provides narration of distinction. He makes the impossible happen--characters that already are rich in personality take on a new and lively robustness. Listeners will chuckle anew at the conniving of Hook and the devoted blundering of Smee, and enjoy the pluck of Barry's added characters, Little Scallop and Shining Pearl. Dale's pacing and cadence are a joy. A.R. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 07]
