He learns how to get to her by climbing up her hair and ultimately rescues her for the witch and the tower and they live happily ever after. Sound familiar?

Special Feature: Alias Hook by Lisa Jensen
With a slight nod to Wicked, veteran film critic Lisa Jensen trades Oz for the Neverland and reimagines one of Great Britain’s most beloved classics of children’s literature in her sparkling new novel, ALIAS HOOK (Thomas Dunne Books; July 8, 2014; Hardcover; $24.99).

The result is an ingenious send up, with Jensen providing a thoughtful meditation on love, war,…
