In an evocative and fast-paced adventure on the high seas
and on a faraway island, an orphan boy names 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. Rolling seas and dangerous thunderstorms are the
backdrop for battles at sea. Bone-crushing waves
eventually land our characters on Prawn Island where the
action really heats up.
