Escape from the Carnivale: A Never Land Adventure Audiobook (Unabridged)

" A fun children's book. Short and featuring the lost boys from Peter Pan "

" This is book 1 of the Never Land Adventure books written by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson that supplement the Peter Pan prequel stories that they've also written. It's a fun easy to read little adventure story with some familiar characters, probably geared more towards the younger audience. I'd say it's at the same reading level as the Spiderwick Chronicles . "

" great book exciting and a classic peter pan! "

" Freddy was worried that this was a "girl" book because the first couple chapters are about mermaids in pearls, but once it got started there was enough action to satisfy a 6 year old boy. "

" a mermaids point of view. boring "

" Like the other ones in this series if you have not read at least the first book (Peter and the Starcatchers or something like that) you have no idea what is going on. Also an author note that this is for younger childern but I oddly did not see how the language was for younger children in any manner. If you are reading it to them than yes its fine but if reading on their own there may be some language barriers that a parent will have to help with. "

" A more simplistic story for a younger reader/listener. Some of the same characters from the Peter and the Starcatchers series. "

" Definitely for children as opposed to young adults. It was fine and had good message for children about following what your parents tell you. "

" This is the first in a three part series that follows on from Dave Barry & Ridley Pearson's Peter and the Starcatcher series. Designed for younger children, they are short stories about the adventures of Peter Pan in Neverland. "

" Cute introduction to Barry & Pearson's Never Land. And the main characters in the stories are a little girl, mermaids, the Lost Boys, and pirates, so it appeals to boys AND girls. "

" Good adventure. I was so interested I read it in one night. "

" I checked this one out to see if I could get my second grader to read it. Meh. I wasn't excited. She wasn't excited. Apparently we prefer Gail Carson Levine's version of Neverland. "

" I love this story you get a better look into life on Neverland. "

" This is a fun series with great characters. I love Pearson as a children's writer and I love all of Barry's works. I'll continue to read everything they put out together. "

" Fun little book about Neverland, I read it when I was younger and enjoyed it. "

" Cute story about the characters who live on Mollusk Island (Peter Pan's Never Land). Mermaids and Lost Boys and Pirates, oh my. "

" I loved this book! I wasn't really excited when I found out I had to read it because it looks like a baby book but when I read it I loved it! Its a amazing. book! "

" This is a really good book! With one sentence the author had me hooked! "

" Super quick read. My nine year old and I love these little in-between books for the Peter and the Starcatcher series. They have great adventure and are well written. "

" Fun short story about what is going on in Neverland while Book 2 of Peter and Starcatchers is being written. This is a book for younger children, although that didn't stop us from enjoying it, it is jsut a lot shorter and less complicated. "

" So far this is our least favorite of the series, but it's still pretty good. "

" Peter does not make an appearance in this book. This is for new readers but failed to bore this veteran, it moved along at a nice clip and the illustrations gild the lily, charm wise. "

" This was really cute. I'm gonna look for other books by this author. "

" This book was a rather fun read. The language was just about right and the pacing was good. The story has some interesting characters and amusing moments. "

" Pretty good read, short but fun. "

" Cute book, nice fun read especially if you like the new Peter Pan books from this universe. Nothing profound; best described as quirky... "

" A fun, quick read in the great series by Barry & Pearson, but directed towards younger readers. "

" A well-written, quick tale; good for elementary-age children. A good adventure that illustrates courage, resourcefulness, compassion, and the consequences of disobedience. Plus it has lots of silly characters and situations. Recommended. "

" Neverland adventure for the very young set. Worth reading if only because the head dolphin is named after Warren Zevon which is totally badass. "

" Definitely for children as opposed to young adults. It was fine and had good message for children about following what your parents tell you. "

" While not nearly as good as the two Dave Barry/Ridley Pearson books in the series I did enjoy reading this to my 10 year old. "

" I really am enjoying these tales of Neverland while Peter is away. They are a lot lighter then Peter's adventures but still fun. "

" Connor and I had so much fun reading this book together. It was really hard to stick to a two chapter limit! It was such a fun adventure! I can't wait to get the other two books in this series. It's a great read for kids 6 and up. "
