Peter and the Starcatchers. Whenever I hear someone utter that amazing phrase, I jump in and relate my views on how delicious the book was. And I'm sure you will, too, when you dive into this amazing, action-packed prequel of Peter Pan. I would rate this book a 9 on a scale from 1-10. It is truly an amazing book that will have you reading until midnight! I enjoyed the fast-paced plot and I could easily relate to the story because I have read the story Peter Pan.Our story starts out with five likable boys: Peter, James, Tubby Ted, Thomas, and Prentiss, who are orphans aboard the Neverland, a rickety old ship traveling to Rundoon. Each boy has a unique personality which gives the story a sense of realness. As they board the boat, Peter eyes a kind girl named Molly, and overtime they become friends. But Molly isn't an ordinary girl, and Peter senses it. Soon, Peter is caught up in the adventure of the Starcatchers. He winds up traveling to an island, and must deal with more than one kind of evil creature!
Filled with wit, humor, and sorrow, this book will touch you like none other. Peter and the Starcatchers gives more depth and dimension to Peter Pan, and will have you constantly eyeing the sky for signs of "the flying boy". Nothing could make this book any better; and if you like this book, read the sequel, Peter and the Shadow Theives. Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson have spun an astonishing story about flying, defeating evil, and facing your fears.
