    About this audiobook

    Little Scallop should be happy. She's a princess of the Mollusk tribe, rulers of beautiful Mollusk Island. And she has two fun friends - Aqua and Surf - who just happen to be mermaids.

    But Little Scallop is bored. Her warrior brothers are allowed to do exciting things, like spying on the pirates who live on the other side of the island. Little Scallop longs to have a real adventure. When Aqua and Surf invite her to go pearl-diving - even though she knows she shouldn't - she can't resist.

    So late one night, she sneaks off into forbidden waters with Aqua and Surf. That's when the trouble starts - they run into a fierce storm and a strange ship sailed by men who would love to capture a mermaid. Soon, Little Scallop is caught up in the adventure she always wanted. The question is: can she and her friends get out of it?

      Surf, a little mermaid, is captured by Captain Crookshanks and his crew, and it's up to Little Scallop and the Lost Boy, James, to enlist the help of their friends to rescue her.This is the first in a series of "Never Land Books," that are based in Never Land and on characters (the mermaids, Indians, pirates, and Lost Boys) established in the "Peter and the Starcatchers" series. Although you don't necessarily need to read the "Starcatchers" books to understand these characters, it is another really great series that I would just recommend reading anyway.
    • 3/5
      From the bestselling authors of "Peter and the Star catchers" comes the firstbook in a new adventure series featuring Peter's friends and enemies in NeverLand.
    • 5/5
      Cute children's story based on the mythology of Barry & Pearson's Peter and the Star Catchers series.
    • 4/5
      Have you ever wondered what was going on with the Mollusks and The Lost Boys while Peter was away having adventures in Peter and the Starcatchers, Peter and the Shadow Thieves and Peter and the Secrets of Rundoon? Well, this easy chapter book series (billed A Neverland Book) neatly fills that gap quite nicely. This story takes place in between Starcatchers and Shadow Thieves and features Little Scallop (along with others) on a madcap mini-adventure involving mermaids, pirates, a traveling carnival seeking new attractions, the infamous Black Stache (and his gang), dolphins, and of course the irascible Mr. Grin. We begin the story with Little Scallop wishing her father had more time for her as she goes off to spend some with her mermaid friends, Surf and Agua. All three are tired of being told what they can and cannot do because of their age, and as young children often do, they break all the rules to swim out to Shark Cave, forbidden to the two young mermaids AND Little Scallop (it’s certainly not in the shallows where her father has told her to stay). So off they go…and no sooner than they are on their way than a raging squall comes upon them and they become lost AND what’s worse, there is a ship (deathly dangerous for mermaids). Surf is captured and now it’s up to Agua and Little Scallop to get help for their captured friend and in the process of doing so, they encounter a lot more adventure and danger than they bargained for…will they rescue their friend? You’ll have to read to find out! Overall, this is a cute addition to the Neverland stories, though I would wager this is most appropriate for a slightly younger age range than the longer Pan novels Barry and Ridley have written. Escape from the Carnivale comes in at 134 pages and is a nice early chapter book with large spacing and type with an entertaining and easy to follow storyline that younger fans of Peter Pan and get into easily on their own (best for ages 4-8) and it would certainly make a great read aloud story for younger readers! I give it four stars, both of my kids loved it and we all hope that there will be many more of these to come…we absolutely loved reading more about the Mollusks, the Lost Boys and The Mermaids!!!
