What happy thought would take you off to Neverland?
The mermaids, so beguiling and wild, who will enchant you to the deep? No, the pirates – salty scoundrels; beware Captain Hook and the plank! Or perhaps the Indians, clever and cunning, who may join the hunt! Could it be the scruffy, loyal band of lost boys always in a game and ready for anything? Maybe the fairies in their vibrant colors, glittering with magic dust! The daring and cheeky Peter Pan himself!
No matter what draws you in, it’s time to go back! Now, before the crocodile with his ticking-clock belly gets too far away! But how to get there?
Why, with sweet, young Emma, who until just this very moment didn’t even know that the place existed! She’s a big-hearted girl living in a children’s hospital in London, where’s she fighting a serious illness.
By a mysterious twist of fate, Emma happens to meet Callie, an author who stops by to drop off a donation of books, and the two become fast friends. Callie introduces Emma to the story of the fantastical island of Neverland, and the wonderfully charming Peter Pan.
Emma’s not about to let it go when her ‘feet-on-the-ground’ father says no to foolish fairytales! She is far too enraptured by the thrilling story, and she wishes more than anything to go to the Neverland herself. With Callie’s help, and a little bit of leftover pixie dust, she embarks upon a series of breathless, daunting adventures!
Emma, the Lost Boy who is a warrior girl, battles pirates right along with her illness, never once ready to give up, even when things might seem to be at their worst. She believes in magic, friends, family, and above all, love, no matter what anyone else says.
You cannot miss this fairytale full of adventure, imagination, and dreams, with a dash of Peter Pan and a whole lot of Neverland. The Neverland Girl will touch your heart, make you laugh, make you cry, and make you fall in love with the strength and sweetness of one little girl who is determined to live her dreams to the fullest, regardless of what challenges life may give her.

It was 1929 when J.M. Barrie, who wrote Peter Pan, gave the copyright and all royalties for the book and play to the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London, so that Peter Pan could always look after sick kids.
In 1988 Prime Minister Lord Callaghan petitioned Parliament to make the Peter Pan copyright perpetual; you see, all copyrights expire 70 years after the death of the creator in that country. Parliament passed it, and Peter Pan became the copyright that wouldn't grow up, at least in the U.K., and the hospital kept the benefits which contribute to a major part of their funding.
This story is about a little girl who's quite ill, and lives in an “unnamed” children's hospital in London. In keeping true to Mr. Barrie, it's only good form that a portion of the royalties from every sale of The Neverland Girl will go to the Great Ormond Street Hospital in the U.K., and to St. Jude's Children's Hospital in the states, so that Peter Pan will continue to take care of little ones who are very sick, as Mr. Barrie intended. Thank you for being a part of that!
