Jake and his crew of kid pirates take flight over London in Disney Junior's "Jake and the Never Land Pirates: Battle for the Book!" a primetime special premiering SUNDAY, OCTOBER 26 (6:00 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel and Disney Junior. Beloved Disney heritage characters Wendy, John and Michael Darling make their series debut in the music-filled special, with Maia Mitchell (Disney Channel's "Teen Beach Movie" and ABC Family's "The Fosters") voicing the role of Wendy and performing new original song "Once Upon A Time."

When the dastardly Captain Hook steals Wendy's storybook from the Darling family home in London, Peter Pan enlists Jake's help to save the day. With his trusted crew and the spirited Tinker Bell by his side, Jake meets the Darling children for the first time, and together they race to prevent Never Land's most cherished tales from being lost forever.

The Emmy-nominated and Annie Award-winning "Jake and the Never Land Pirates" consistently ranks among the top preschool programs in Kids 2-5.

It was recently showcased as part of Disney Junior's "Pirate and Princess: Power of Doing Good" pro-social touring event sponsored by ASPCA, Youth Service America (YSA), National Wildlife Federation and First Book.

Other extensions of the hit series are multiple book titles, apps, a robust product line from Disney Consumer Products and multiple soundtracks and DVDs from Disney Studios. "Jake and the Never Land Pirates: Battle for the Book!" will release on DVD on January 6, 2015.
