More About the Author

The New York Times has pronounced Dave Barry "the funniest man in America." But of course that could have been on a slow news day when there wasn't much else fit to print. True, his bestselling collections of columns are legendary, but it is his wholly original books that reveal him as an American icon. Dave Barry Slept Here was his version of American history. Dave Barry Does Japan was a contribution to international peace and understanding from which Japan has not yet fully recovered. Dave Barry's Complete Guide to Guys is among the best-read volumes in rehab centers and prisons. Raised in a suburb of New York, educated in a suburb of Philadelphia, he lives now in a suburb of Miami. He is not, as he often puts it so poetically, making this up.

This review is from: Peter and the Starcatchers Box Set (The Starcatchers) (Hardcover)

This trilogy is some of the best Children's literature around. We are Harry Potter fanatics in my house. I have yet to come across something for them that is somewhat comparable. This I can say comes very close. The stories grab not only boys because of the pirates and adenture, but girls as well. Thoroughly and beautifully entertaining, it explains the origins of Peter Pan, Captain Hook, Tinker Bell, etc. I absolutely devoured them and cannot wait for my children to read them.

I read these stories first and I just loved them. Very interesting story lines explaining the origins of all the characters in Peter Pan. If I were to rate these books on a movie scale I would rate them G-rated although a younger audience may be frightened by the bad guys in these stories. My daughter started reading these around 9-10 years old and I couldn't stop her from reading! This is a child who normally does not love to read. For Christmas we bought her this boxed set. The books are very nice with a nice case to keep them in and she was thrilled. My books sit right next to our Harry Potter books. Like the Harry Potter books, each book becomes more intense. This hardback set makes a really nice gift and has all three books. These stories are for adults and for kids. Enjoy!

This review is from: Peter and the Starcatchers Box Set (The Starcatchers) (Hardcover)

My son is 15 years old and I have a hard time finding books he likes to read. He has read the first two books in the Peter and the Starcatchers series and loved them so much he pestered me to read them. I enjoyed them as well and not just because I am a Tinkerbell fan. We recently saw this boxed series while in Orlando but the set was over $50. It is a very attractively bound and boxed. I did not want to pay that price nor lug them all around the park for the day. When I got home and saw the price on Amazon, I was so happy I did. We are now eager to read the third book in the series.
