Even as adults, we all have a little bit of Peter Pan in us.

We fondly remember J.M. Barrie's timeless masterpiece, the magical adventure to Neverland where we first met Tinkerbell, the Lost Boys, and the iconic Captain Hook. But now, suppose you've flown with Peter Pan, fought pirates and outfoxed Captain Hook one too many times and are yearning for new horizons.

Do you wonder if there are other classic children's books out there that can whisk you away to enchanting worlds, much like Barrie's classic literature did? Then, keep reading!

We've rounded up a collection of book recommendations that will rekindle that same sense of childlike awe and wonder

These are perfect picks for fans of the classic Peter Pan novel. So, prepare for more magical adventures with this curated list of titles similar to Peter Pan.

First up is C.S. Lewis's timeless series, 'The Chronicles of Narnia'

Known as one of the pillars of children's fantasy literature, these seven books take us on a journey to the magical world of Narnia, a land filled with talking animals, mythical creatures, and grand adventures. Much like the intricate storytelling of J.M. Barrie, C.S. Lewis captivates reader's imaginations as he paints a world where kids are the heroes. Just as Wendy Darling guided her brothers through Neverland, so too, do the Pevensie siblings lead each other through the fantastical realms of Narnia. When you follow Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy through the wardrobe, you'll undoubtedly feel that same sense of childhood wonder that Peter Pan, by J.M. Barrie, sparked within your own imagination.

Next on our list, we have R.J. Palacio's 'Wonder'

A heartwarming tale that uncovers valuable lessons about friendship and acceptance. It's a must-add to your collection of classic children's books as it crafts an adventure not in a magical world, but in the familiar setting of a school. This book won't take you on a trip to Neverland, but it's an extraordinary narrative that explores a different kind of journey; it's a courageous adventure towards acceptance and understanding. Just as Captain Hook and the Lost Boys painted vivid portraits of different characters in the Peter Pan novel, so too, does Palacio's tale highlight the strengths and vulnerabilities of its characters that tug at your heartstrings.

If you enjoyed the pirates in literature like the cunning Captain Hook, then you're going to love Robert Louis Stevenson's 'Treasure Island'

Following the adventures of Jim Hawkins, this classic children's book masterly navigates the high seas with pirates, treasure maps and camaraderie. Stevenson's approach to storytelling, much akin to J.M. Barrie, balances action with a heart-melting narrative. The salty sea air, the thrill of discovering buried treasure, and the charming, albeit dangerous, Long John Silver will undeniably transport you into a nautical adventure like no other.

Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with classic literature like Peter Pan, by J.M. Barrie is L. Frank Baum's novel 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz'

The magical adventures of Dorothy in a land beyond a rainbow parallels the exhilarating escapades of Peter Pan and Tinkerbell in Neverland. Featuring iconic characters like the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion, Baum’s universe, just like Barrie's, is vibrant, full of heart, and packed with life lessons wrapped in fantastical narratives. You'll find that Peter Pan and Dorothy may live in different worlds, but they share a common spirit of adventure and courage that inspires us all.
