Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson are longtime friends, but this is their first writing collaboration and their first foray into children’s literature. Peter and the Starcatchers is a magical adventure which they both loved working on together. Dave and Ridley not only write together, they also play together – in a band, that is. Dave plays lead guitar and Ridley plays bass guitar in the literary all-star garage band, the Rock Bottom Remainders. The band is comprised of some of the country's most popular writers, including Stephen King, Scott Turow, Amy Tan, and Mitch Albom.

Dave and Ridley will embark on a U.S. tour this September for Peter and the Starcatchers and will be available for interviews. Please see Tour Information for detail.
