This is the first book in The Untold Stories series. This is a young adult fantasy and is 252 pages. This story follows a few well-known characters. Captain Hook learns that Peter Pan was involved in the death of someone dear to him and vows to make him pay. Along the way of hunting him down, he meets Red and Tinker Bell. They both try to sway him to let it go. Hook must choose living a new life or continue his journey for vengeance.
This is my first book by this author. I really enjoyed the introduced to this book. Oh wow I didn’t expect Peter Pan to be like that and James to be how he is. Peter and the lost boys were different than I expect. I enjoyed the fight scene as they are written well.
Hooks little mermaid is a new version of the classic tale of Peter pan with a twist a certain sea witch and mermaid are involved. It’s great I loved it. You finally understand why captain Hook and Peter actually have a feud. Captain James Shaw who we come to know as Captain Hook was by far my favourite character he was written so well and you really see him in a different light, you will be pleasantly surprised
Did you ever wonder what happened to Captain Hook before his encounter with Peter Pan? I know I used to make up stories with my friends about the pirate who is always going after Peter Pan. In this book we read Suzanna Lynn’s version, and I have to admit her story is a lot better than mine. Her plot-line takes the reader back and develops the story behind the pirate. We see the usual character names but with slight differences than what we are used to. I highly recommend this book to see what Hook was like before he was Captain Hook obsessed with Peter Pan.
I had not read a book by this author prior to reading this book. I have always loved the stories of Peter Pan & The Little Mermaid, so I was intrigued by the title of this. I was surprised to realize that this is a new twist on Captain Hook and his story. And I LOVED IT! I truly had a new outlook on the villain of Peter Pan and could really start to sympathize and understand why Hook was as evil as he was. I was very impressed with this book and found it to be a very fast read. In fact, I read the entire book in less than 24 hours because I was reading it so quickly. I was quite shocked with the writing and the characters. I was expecting the Captain Hook I have grown used to but was surprised to find out that wasn’t the case at all. I believe that this story is geared towards young adult readers but thought that the author did a fabulous job immersing me into their world. The characters resonated with me and I was able to visually see and feel the images around me. I can honestly say that I felt as though I were an actress in this movie. I didn’t want it to end. If you are a fan of Disney then I believe that you will love this book. I am excited to read the next installment in Lynn’s series.
Hook’s Little Mermaid (The Untold Stories BOOK 1) by Suzanna Lynn was full of fiction and adventure. It is a retelling of Captain Hook and his chase of Peter Pan from his point of view.
Captain James Hook used to be a decent guy struggling to make a decent living; he is a pirate. Hook makes it his sole mission to track down and kill the fiend after learning that a boy named Peter Pan played a part in the death of a dear loved one. The captain meets several new allies on his quest for revenge, including a young girl named Red and a fairy named Tinker Bell, all of whom encourage him to rethink his thirst for justice. He goes on a whirlwind journey in Neverland after accidentally rescuing a mermaid. Hook must choose between the chance of a new life with love and his much-desired revenge against Pan after a series of misadventures.
This was a lovely retelling, and I loved every page of it. This is book one, and I would love to read more of this collection.
Hook’s Little Mermaid: The Untold Stories
By
Suzanna Lynn
This is the untold story about Captain Hook and how he got the name Captain Hook and why he doesn’t like Peter Pan. For fans of Peter Pan and Captain Hook this is a must read. I love books that fill in the blanks, it gives us another way to look at the history between the two characters.
At first his name is James Shaw but during the story he changes his name to Captain Hook, this story explains why this happens and why he sets out to find Pan.
This is a very good story. I encourage everyone to read this.
What a fun read!! She definitely keeps you guessing as to what will happen next as you read! Truly, didn’t want to put it down, and only did because I had to sleep!
I was surprised by the author’s reason for Captain Hook’s intense dislike for Peter Pan. It humanized him to the point that you couldn’t help but see Hook in a different light because of his misadventures in the book. I appreciated that she didn’t paint him as the villain that most people associate him with when they hear the name Captain Hook.
Because she also intermingled some other tale’s characters throughout this book, it’s hard to not feel that they are a foreshadowing of what is to come in this series! Can’t wait to read what comes next!
Hook’s Little Mermaid: Captain Hook crosses paths with an enchanting mermaid, as he seeks revenge against Peter Pan. (The Untold Stories Book 1) by Suzanna Lynn is a YA fantasy and her take on a historically loved characters and their adventures. Fantasy meets fairy tale as we have a brand new look and feel for the Captain and how he came to be Hook. I loved the original and unique twist Suzanna put on these stories to give us a read that is riveting and enjoyable. Neverland will never look the same again. The ending is not one you expect. I will let you discover the intricacies that Suzanna has seamlessly woven together.
I enjoyed this young adult version of Peter Pan. This would be a great story that any young adult would enjoy reading. This is a story that will take you on an adventure with pirates, revenge, and even some romance. This is a well developed story that brings a world of fantasy with magic to life. The characters are creative which made the story fun and entertaining to read. Where will this adventure take Pan and the rest of the characters and what will happen with the choices they will have to make? I highly recommend this book.
This is the story of Captain James Shaw also known as Captain Hook. This is his back story. The quest to avenge the death of his son, Peter Pan kidnapped him . Also we are introduced to Red (as in Red Riding Hood), Tinkerbell, Peter Pan and the Lost Boys, Captain Hook (James Shaw), the Little Mermaid (her name is Elynne in this story), Poseidon, and the sea hag.
It’s a refreshing twist on an original fairy tale. The characters are phenomenal and the story-line made this book very hard for me to put down. I sat and read this whole book in one sitting. The author does wonderful job of weaving together different lands and taking us through them. I love the Hook/Little mermaid stories combine.
I would recommend it to anyone loves fantasy/fairy tales
