Dave Barry (Author), Ridley Pearson (Author), Greg Call (Illustrator)

Book Description

Age Level: 10 and up | Grade Level: 5 and up | Series: Starcatchers

The first three books in the Peter and the Starcatchers series tell the story of a young orphan named Peter and how he became the forever-young boy from J. M. Barrie's classic novel. Pirates, sea battles, starstuff, flying camels, treacherous villains, and intrepid heroes make for an incredible adventure that is impossible to put down. Readers will be rooted to their chairs from the first page of Peter and the Starcatchers to the last page of Peter and the Secret of Rundoon. And once they finish, fans will be chomping at the bit for the fourth novel, Peter and the Sword of Mercy, which hits shelves just a month later.

I bought this set as a gift for my niece who is really into Tinkerbell. Thought she might enjoy reading the history behind Tink and Peter and the gang. With every book she reads she calls me in the middle and at the end thanking me for giving her this set of books!! She tells me in great detail what has been going on in the stories. How Tinkerbell got her name, how Peter keeps loosing his shadow, why they are called the lost boys, who Wendy is, all with such excitement in her voice. She is now in the middle of the third book, and can't wait, sort of, to start the forth. I asked her why she was hesitant and she said, because there wasn't a fifth book yet!! I laughed and told her to be patient that there would be she just had to wait and watch for it. She totally LOVES this series of books!!! She can't put them down and can't wait to pick up the next book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Peter Pan for Pre-Teens, February 5, 2011

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Peter and the Starcatchers: The Starcatchers Series Books 1-3: Paperback Box Set (Paperback)

This is a great series, I got it for Christmas and I couldn't put it down. It explains everything, from how Peter Pan learned to fly to why Neverland is Neverland. When people at school asked what it was about, I sayed it was like Peter Pan for pre-teens. If you like this series, try Kingdom Keepers by Ridley Person.
