hope you can make out the line drawing.

Hey there!
If you like Peter Pan, you might be interested to know about a new novel.
Unlike ALL the other prequels and sequels that have come out, this one does not contradict Barrie's stories. In fact, it's based on his idea to continue Pan's adventure.

Believe!
