Peter and the other orphans he has grown up with are being sent away from the orphanage/school they have grown up in. They have been sold into servitude, but must travel by ship to get there. Along the way, Peter meets a friend, Molly, and is also allowed by a strange box. As always, there be pirates along the seas...
This is one of my favorite series of all times! I�m sorry that I let the insane work hours take priority over keeping track of the series. This is one of my rereads that has me more excited for my reread than new books this year. Also, between a combination of time and memory loss after a medical procedure, it�s like I�m reading it for the first time again.
Ridley Pearson�s daughter asked her Daddy how after and a pirate met, and this is the result. It is one of those stories that may be classified as middle grade, but easily appeals to young adults and adults alike. The world-building is marvelous, with the bulk being new masterful storytelling with touches of classic J.M. Barrie to summon loving nostalgia. Characters, new and old, are well fleshed-out and brought out string emotions from this reader. Greg Call�s illustrations are jaw-dropping (THAT COVER!!)!
Buy this for yourself or anyone who loves retellings. If you�re twisted, get it for someone who gets seasick.

A Disappointment Masquerading as a Prequel
I had highly anticipated reading Peter and the Starcatchers. After all, it's a prequel to my favourite book of all time! I was fairly pleased for the first two chapters of the book. Peter swaggered like Barrie's Peter Pan. But after those first two chapters, things went downhill. I don't even think that Ridley Pearson and Dave Barry read the original book, Peter Pan. It's like all they did was watch the Disney movie (which wouldn't surprise me, considering the book is put out by Disney). The story read like it was meant to be the screenplay of a movie. A movie whose humour relied on slapstick "comedy," no less. In "Starcatchers," Neverland has been relocated to an island in the South Seas (inhabited by Polynesians, not Redskins). Peter's character is far from Peter Pan's real character. Peter never even spent any time in Kensington Gardens with the fairies (as Peter Pan did in the original). There are countless other little blunders that make "Starcatchers" unenjoyable to a Barrie lover. And to any serious reader, "Starcatchers" is too immature to be a fun read. If you want to read a book about Peter Pan that's not by Barrie, read Peter Pan in Scarlet. Though it, too, has problems (mainly in plot), it is, at least, true to the original and has lovely writing to boot. Don't waste your time with "Peter and the Starcatchers."
