Question

17．What if you could fly like a bird just by thinking happy thoughts？Or you could disappear to a faraway land，never grow old and fight pirates every day？For Peter Pan and his friends，the Lost Boys，these dreams come true．
More than 100 years after this playful boy was"born"，Peter Pan and his friends are to continue their adventure in a sequel（续集）to J．M．Barrie's original novel．"Peter Pan in Scarlet"（重返梦幻岛），written by British author Geraldine McCaughrean，was published earlier this month．
The sequel brings all the original characters back．Peter Pan's friends，the Lost Boys，are now grown up and live in the real world．What's more，at the end of the first book，Peter Pan thinks he has killed his enemy，Captain Hook．But，new readers discover he is not so dead at all．
For those who are unfamiliar with the original story，Peter Pan lives in faraway Neverland with a group of orphans．But they are eager for a real mother and Peter Pan flies to London with a fairy（仙女），Tinkerbell，to find one．They visit a young girl，Wendy，who loves to read stories，and bring her and her two brothers back to Neverland to live with them．In Neverland，children never have to grow up，and there are no parents to tell them what to do．
Many teenagers dream of a world where they don't have to grow old and take responsibility．But，the author explains such a world is not the paradise（乐园）when it first appears：adventures can be scary and often dangerous，and，though we all sometimes dream of running away，we all need someone to love and look after us too．
