Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie. Recommended by 6 sources.
“Peter Pan, by J. M. Barrie, reads like a moonlit carousel of flights, pirate fights, and fairy mischief. The pleasure is in vivid scenes and characters—Peter, Tinker Bell, the Lost Boys, Hook—that ignite imagination and work very well aloud to children. The limitation is its Edwardian tone and sentimental moral asides, which can feel old-fashioned, occasionally preachy, and slow to readers used to brisk contemporary children's pacing. Best used for shared reading or for anyone seeking whimsical escapism rather than realism.”
