And are she, Pete, the Lost Boys, and Bella enough to outsmart Captain Hook?. The only ones who have survived are children, among them Gwen Darling and her siblings, Joanna and Mikey. Unsure if the virus has spread past England's borders but desperate to leave, Captain Hook hunts for a cure, which he thinks can be found in one of the survivors. None ever return. London has been destroyed in a blitz of bombs and disease. Forget the story of Peter Pan you know. As Gwen sets out to save her, she meets a mysterious boy named Pete. Until the day they grab Joanna.

This plague started after Queen
