  "To die will be an awfully big adventure."
  
  When Peter Pan flies through the nursery window of the Darling family, he isn't just looking for his lost shadow—he's looking for a mother for his band of Lost Boys. Leading Wendy, John, and Michael across the sky to the second star to the right, Peter introduces them to Neverland: a world of mermaids, fairies, and the villainous Captain Jas. Hook. But beneath the whimsy lies a poignant reality. Peter's "eternal youth" comes at the cost of his memory and heart, creating a world where the only thing more dangerous than a pirate is the passage of time.
  
  The Psychology of the Never-Bird: Barrie's Peter Pan is a "tragic boy"—heartless, forgetful, and innocent. Unlike the Disney version, the original Peter is a feral figure who "thins" the ranks of the Lost Boys when they grow too old. The novel explores the "Mother" archetype through Wendy, who must eventually choose between the magic of Neverland and the responsibility of the real world.
  
  The Dual Duel: Hook vs. Peter: The rivalry between Peter and Hook is a clash of philosophies. Hook, a man of "Good Form" and educated at Eton, represents the rigid, decaying world of adulthood and mortality—stalked literally by the ticking clock inside the Crocodile. Peter represents the chaotic, amoral freedom of youth. Their battle is not just about survival, but about the very nature of identity.
  
  Experience the magic and the melancholy. Purchase "Peter Pan" today and fly to the shores of Neverland.

  It’s New Year’s Eve and the last thing Spid wants to do is celebrate. Now Spidmas is over, he feels unloved and unappreciated. But just as Spid is thinking he’ll never make anything of himself, Bid comes up with an idea that changes everything.This adventure is about recognising and taking charge of your feelings. And inspiring resolutions for the year ahead. It features two songs: 'New Year Ensemble' and 'Sheen Neean Kwai Luh (Xin Nian Kuai Le)' which is Chinese for Happy New Year. You can also find music videos of the songs at https://spidthespider.com and https://www.youtube.com/spidthespider. Spid is a lowly spider, who wants to better himself, write songs, and marry his girlfriend Bid, though he is prone to hilarious mishaps mostly of his own making. He is hard-working, cool, and a role model for young children. As well as encouraging children to read and love books, Spid's adventures also teach valuable life lessons, including determination and what psychologists call a 'growth mindset' (desire to better oneself and succeed), the importance of friendship, and sustainability. With very creative prose, Spid's adventures are fun for parents, and teachers to read to, and with, their children. They present lots of opportunities to invest dramatic licence thus helping adults and children interact and engage. The humour works at multiple levels from silly and slapstick to more sophisticated wordplay and concepts. Thus, children will discover more and enjoy reading the stories multiple times.
