Description
Fresh off a fearsome encounter with the Neverland crocodile Jocelyn Hook decides the most practical plan is to hunt down her father's famous fortune. After all she'll need the gold to fund her adventuring in the future. (And luckily Hook left her the map.)
But the map proves to be a bit harder to crack than Jocelyn had hoped and she's convinced that the horrible Peter Pan might be the only one with the answers. Of course he doesn't really feel like helping her so Jocelyn takes the only reasonable course of action left to her: she kidnaps his mother. Evie though is absolutely thrilled to be taken prisoner so Jocelyn's daring ploy doesn't have quite the effect she'd planned for.
Along with the problem of her all-too-willing captive Jocelyn must also contend with Captain Krueger whose general policy is that no deed is too dastardly when it comes to stealing Hook's treasure. And with the ever-shifting Whens of the Neverland working against her as well Jocelyn Evie Roger and the rest of the Hook's Revenge crew have their work cut out for them.
In this rambunctious showdown between characters new and old Jocelyn puts her own brand of pirating to the test in a quest to save her future and those she loves.
