Sometime after the events of the original film, to assure that she and her brothers would never forget to keep the spirit of Peter Pan alive, Wendy wrote down the events of the adventure they had on Never Land down in a book. Michael, John, and even Nana, enjoy hearing the tales from the book every night before bed, still waiting for there next visit too the island.
Powers and Abilities[]
- “Well, Wendy, your storybook is magical. Just like Never Land. It's gotta have all its pages from the first to the very last. Without them, none of us will ever remember the stories of our adventures.”
- ―Peter Pan
The book serves as the connection between the Darling siblings and Never Land, and as a result, the more the book is damaged, the more Wendy and her brothers' memories of Peter Pan and Never Land as a whole are obliterated. Later, during the course of the special, Peter reveals it wouldn't just effect the Darlings, but everyone as a whole would soon forget, as seen with Captain Hook and his crew slowly beginning to forget the reason for stealing the book in the first place.
Role in the series[]
Wendy's book first appeared in the series in the episode special, "Battle for the Book". In the special, Michael and John love hearing Wendy's stories about Never Land, especially when Peter Pan outsmarts Captain Hook. But that sneaky snook Hook hates to look like a bumbling fool, so he decides to fly to London, steal Wendy's storybook, and destroy her stories once and for all. Peter Pan sends Jake, Izzy, Cubby, Skully, and Tinker Bell to London to help Wendy, John, and Michael find Hook and retrieve Wendy's book. Unfortunately, without the book, Wendy, John, and Michael start to forget the stories and their adventures on Never Land, prompting Peter to send Tinker Bell, Jake and his crew to help battle Hook and save Wendy's memories. To help further the success, Wendy, Michael, John and Nana, tag along on the adventure, as well. After a long chase through London, Captain Hook decides the fitting place to rid himself of Wendy's storybook is the the Valley of Fury, one of the most dangerous places in Never Land. But before Hook could destroy the book, he is confronted by Peter Pan, the Darling siblings and Jake's pirate team. Wendy demand her book at once but Hook payed no heed to her request and tossed the book into the fires of the Valley of Fury. Izzy quickly intervenes using her pixie dust to save the book from the flames, but in the processes, the book's pages are scattered all across Never Land. Later at Skull Rock, with most of the storybook pages collected, Wendy notice that one page is still missing and the Darling sibling are still forgetting their adventures in Never Land. Suddenly, Wendy spots the last page. They soar over head to complete the storybook, but it is soon captured by Captain Hook, who gloats, but this short lived as he and his crew start to lose their memory about the book. Jake informed Hook that he stole Wendy's storybook and has been trying to destroy it and its stories. Captain Hook was still confused about the storybook, so Jake suggest he read the page he was holding. Hook soon realize he was not portrayed as a bumbling fool, but the scurvy villain of the tale. Jake also informs the captain if Wendy's storybook doesn't have all its pages, no one will ever remember the stories of Peter Pan and Captain Hook. Captain Hook agreed these stories of him are, indeed, a valuable treasure ever and should never be destroyed. As he hands the last page to Wendy, the page is blown from the captain's hand and blown back to the Valley of Fury. Using Izzy's pixie dust, Jake soars after the page, but the winds seem to strong for Jake alone. Captain Hook comes to Jake aid with his Whirly-Hook, saving the page from the valley's blue flames once more and returning the page back to Wendy. The pages magically restore themselves back to their original order, and the book, along with the Darlings, Hook, and his crew's memories, are restored.
