Escape from the Carnivale is the third book from the collaborative efforts of Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson. I read Peter and the Starcatchers a few years ago and found it inappropriate due to crude humor of a sexual nature. This book seems to be a spin-off the original, but is written for much younger readers, and without the blue content. Perhaps this is due to the fact that unlike Peter and the Starcatchers, this book is published by Disney.
Escape from Carnivale is the tale of Little Scallop, a young girl from the Mollusk tribe native to Neverland, and her two mermaid friends, Surf and Aqua. The three girls find themselves in deep trouble after disobeying strict orders not to leave the lagoon. They set out to find pearls beyond the big reef, and end up finding a ship, the Carnivale. Surf is captured by the sailors, and their captain, Crookshank, who owns a circus.
When Little Scallop goes to her father, Fighting Prawn, for help, she discovers that tribe has gone up the mountain for the day. With the help of the mermaids, dolphins, and Lost Boys, Surf is rescued. Little Scallop confesses her disobedience to her father, and is reprimanded. Her father also acknowledges her part in the rescue and the story ends with a father/daughter hug.
While not great literature, this book contains no objectionable material.
