Martyn Barr challenged Year 6 students from The Orchard School, Canterbury to come up with the plot for his 2017 Christmas story book, and St Nick in Neverland was the result! The 20-page story and activity book was commissioned by the Whitefriars shopping centre as a gift for Santa to give away in its Christmas Grotto.

Martyn presented signed copies of the book to each of the pupils and participated in a Q&A session with the children, who are big fans of his educational books that they use in the classroom. He was joined by Peter Pan (David Ribi) and Wendy (Samantha Dorrance), cast members from The Marlowe Theatre pantomime, as an extra surprise for the class.
