In an evocative and fast-paced adventure
on the high seas and on a faraway island, an orphan boy named
Peter and his mysterious new friend, Molly, overcome bands
of pirates and thieves in their quest to keep a fantastical
secret safe and save the world from evil. Award-winning authors
Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson have turned back the clock
and revealed a wonderful story that precedes J.M. Barrie’s
beloved Peter Pan. Peter and the Starcatchers is brimming
with richly developed characters, from the scary but somehow
familiar Black Stache and the ferocious Mister Grin to the
sweet but sophisticated Molly and the fearless Peter. Page
after page of riveting adventures take readers on a journey
from a filthy, crime-ridden port in old England across the
turbulent sea. Aboard the Never Land is a trunk that holds
a magical substance that amazes – just a sprinkle,
and wounds heal; just a dusting, and people can fly.
Roiling seas and dangerous thunderstorms are the backdrop
for battles at sea. Bone-crushing waves eventually land our
characters on Mollusk Island – where the action really
heats up.
This impossible-to-put-down tale leads readers on an unforgettable
journey, fraught with danger yet filled with mystical and
magical things.
