In The Starcatcher Books
In the prequel Peter and the Starcatchers book series, an earlier group of Lost Boys are presented. They include boys whom Peter knew from St. Norbert's orphanage, and who return to England with the heroine's family at the end of the prequels. This description does not agree with the canon explanation for Lost Boys, who are only orphaned when lost as babies.
- Prentiss – A rather new boy at St. Norbert's.
- James – James seems to be closer to Peter then any other boy at St. Norbert's. He serves as the leader to the Lost Boys when Peter is not around, making him the second-in-command (similar to Nibs).
- Tubby Ted – As a running gag, Tubby Ted is always hungry.
- Thomas – A boy from St. Norbert's.
In Peter and the Secret of Rundoon, some other boys from St. Norbert's end up going to Neverland with Peter. Their names are Tootles, Slightly, Nibs, Curly and The Twins. Prentiss, James, Tubby Ted, and Thomas decide to go back to London with Leonard Aster because they realized they would become men someday and could not keep up with Peter, leaving Peter and Tinkerbell with the new, more familiar Lost Boys.

Famous quotes containing the word books:
“For books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a potency of life in them to be as active as that soul was whose progeny they are; nay, they do preserve as in a vial the purest efficacy and extraction of that living intellect that bred them. I know they are as lively, and as vigorously productive, as those fabulous dragon’s teeth; and being sown up and down, may chance to spring up armed men.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
