I'm just here for Vidia. She's the most complex character in the whole bunch, a proper anti-heroine. You don't need to read in order to appreciate her, but her arc from outright villain in early books to a grudgingly respected outcast is subtle. Read 'Vidia and the Fairy Crown' early, then later books like 'Vidia Takes Charge' to see the shift. It's the closest thing to a character-driven subplot.

Okay so the Neverland Fairies books… I think people get them mixed up with the Disney Fairies line sometimes? These are the ones by Kiki Thorpe, right, part of the 'Disney Fairies: Never Girls' series? The main human characters are four girls from our world—Lainey, Mia, Kate, and Gabby. Gabby's the little sister. They stumble into Never Land and befriend Tinker Bell and the other fairies.
But the books really shine when they focus on the fairy characters. Tink is obviously central, but I remember the water-talent fairy Silvermist getting a lot of page time, and the garden fairy Rosetta. Vidia, the fast-flying fairy, is a fantastic antagonist who isn't purely evil, just selfish and proud. I always preferred the chapters from the fairies' perspectives; the dynamics in Pixie Hollow felt richer than the girls' adventures sometimes. The character development is subtle but there, especially in how Tinker Bell's fierce loyalty and impulsiveness cause and solve problems.

Some people get all hung up on reading order for series like this, but honestly, the Disney Fairy Book series is pretty forgiving. Most of those early chapter books are standalone adventures in Pixie Hollow. You can jump in with 'Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg' or 'Rani in the Mermaid Lagoon' and not be lost.
That said, if you really want a chronological path through the core Never Land stories, start with 'Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg'. It establishes the world and characters like Prilla. Then move into the individual talent fairy tales—'Beck and the Great Berry Battle', 'Lily's Pesky Plant', that whole run. The later 'Never Girls' books cross over with the Disney Fairies but are kinda their own thing, almost a separate sub-series. I’d treat those as optional spin-offs after you’ve read the main Pixie Hollow stuff.
My niece just reads them in whatever order the library has them in, and she’s never complained about being confused. The internal timeline isn’t super strict.

I was sorting through some old boxes at my parents' house and found my childhood copy of 'Peter and Wendy', and it got me thinking about this. The 'Neverland Fairies' books by Kiki Thorpe? They’re definitely their own series, but they’re absolutely connected. They’re set in Pixie Hollow in Neverland, and the whole premise is built on the world J.M. Barrie created. Tinker Bell is a major character, but the stories focus on a whole society of fairies with different talents.
They're not direct sequels to Barrie's novel, more like expansive fanfiction that got an official Disney stamp. The connection is more about setting and side characters than continuing Peter's specific story. They explore parts of Neverland Peter might ignore, like the Home Tree or the mysteries of the mainland. It’s a neat way to see the world from a completely different, smaller perspective. My niece adores them, but they feel like a separate, gentler corner of the same universe. The link is there, but it's a branch, not the main trunk.

I actually went down a rabbit hole on this a few weeks ago. If you're asking about the classic J.M. Barrie 'Peter Pan' stories, those absolutely have audiobook versions, narrated by everyone from celebrities to voice actors. But if you mean the 'Disney Fairies' or 'Never Girls' spinoff books that tie into Tinker Bell's world, the situation is spottier.
I found a few on Audible—the 'Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg' book by Gail Carson Levine is definitely there, and I think some of the early 'Never Girls' chapter books have productions. The main issue is the series is huge, with dozens of titles, and not all got the audio treatment. Your best shot is searching for the specific sub-series title plus 'audiobook' on a major retailer. The ones that do exist are usually fine, competent narrations, but nothing legendary.
It's a shame, because the younger readers who might enjoy these are exactly the audience that could use a good audiobook during car rides. I remember my niece loving the physical books but struggling with the reading level sometimes; an audio version would've been perfect.
