The Untold Truth of
Captain Hook.
Premise
Twin brothers James and Peter love life at sea. When their mother dies, their father leaves them at an orphanage, with a promise they’ll all see each other again someday. Peter thrives at the orphanage, becoming a leader among the other unwanted boys, while James becomes obsessed with finding their father. Knowing he must make his way in the world of adults to accomplish his quest, James decides to grow one year older each day, until he is an adult.
But when he is unable to convince Peter to leave his friends, James charters a ship and crew, and follows clues left by his father in an old clock. His search is fruitless, driving him to the edge of madness, until he mistakes a dangerous crocodile for his father. When the beast clamps its great jaw around the clock James holds, Peter saves James by cutting off his hand.
Filled with remorse, Peter thinks it may be time he grew up. James encourages him not to do so, to remain as young and imaginative as he wants to be. When Peter confides that what he really wants to do is hunt pirates, James—with his ship, his love of the sea, and his gleaming new hook—decides to be the pirate nemesis Peter needs.
