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:
“Ambivalence reaches the level of schizophrenia in our treatment of violence among the young. Parents do not encourage violence, but neither do they take up arms against the industries which encourage it. Parents hide their eyes from the books and comics, slasher films, videos and lyrics which form the texture of an adolescent culture. While all successful societies have inhibited instinct, ours encourages it. Or at least we profess ourselves powerless to interfere with it.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
