Narrative In Favor Of Books Peter and the Shadow Thieves (Peter and the Starcatchers #2)
In this riveting and adventure-packed follow-up to the award-winning New York Times bestseller Peter and the Starcatchers, Peter leaves the relative safety of Mollusk Island - along with his trusted companion, Tinker Bell - for the dark and dangerous streets of London. On a difficult journey across the sea, he and Tink discover the mysterious and deadly Lord Ombra, who is intent on recovering the missing starstuff - celestial dust that contains unimagined powers. In London, Peter attempts to track down the indomitable Molly, hoping that together they can combat Ombra's determined forces. But London is not Mollusk Island; Peter is not the boy he used to be; and Lord Ombra - the Shadow Master - is unlike anything Peter, or the world, has ever seen.Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson have done it again - written a compulsively readable, magical, impossible-to-put-down tale that will delight readers of all ages.

I absolutely love the idea behind this series. Instead of retelling the old version of Peter Pan, Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson have simply imagined a background for Peter. This series goes through the days before Peter became the legendary "Peter Pan." It's great, because those who aren't familiar with the story can follow, and those who do know the story can be amused by references to what Peter will eventually become.Aside from the history behind the characters, this is an entertaining andMy Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!! ***Borrowed the audiobook CDs from the libraryThe cover is definitely reminds you of Peter Pan with the flying out the window scene :)I really like this series and so does my son. I know the library has the first 4 books in audio, so we will be borrowing them all to listen in the car. This is such a fun series with tons of adventure. My son and I love listening to it in the car before and after school. If I could nail my son down longer than
Another good installment of this series!
Man, I thought this book would never end. I didn't enjoy this one nearly as much as I did the first book in the series. Just couldn't get into the story at all and it seemed to go on FOREVER. My 10 year old son and I read this together and he felt more favorably toward it than I did. He said he'd give it 4 stars and couldn't believe I was only going with 2. LOL Having moved right on to our next book, The Shattering by Kathryn Lasky (sorry, "add book" isn't working for some reason so can't post
A fun addition to the first one :). I like that they threw the original author (J.M. Barrie) in there, like a cameo :). I think I enjoyed this one a little more than the first one. Maybe it's because I knew the characters a little better, or maybe it's because Peter is a bit more mischievous and playful as we know him to be, or because we get to know Tinker Bell better and see her relationship with Peter. Regardless- it's another quick read about a fun twist on a classic story . I do wish there
I actually liked this offering better than the first book in this series, Peter and the Starcatchers! The pirate, "Black Stache" returns with his new moniker, Captain Hook. Slank returns to Mollusk Island searching for "starstuff" with the villainous Lord Ombra and the adventure continues when Peter learns Molly and her family are in danger. Failing to locate the coveted "starstuff" on the island, Lord Ombra sets sail for England with two stowaways; Peter and Tinker Bell, who hide themselves on
This book, like the one before it, was absolutely delightful! I read it in an effort to take a small angst vacation. Peter Pan is my all time favorite children's story/ fairy tale, so these books are right up my alley. In this one, we are starting to see Peter struggle with the fact that the other Lost Boys are growing up, as is Molly, but Peter never will. I'm interested to see how Barry and Pearson will develop this part of the storyline, because in J. M Barrie's book, the Lost Boys are
