Best-selling 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.
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.
This riveting adventure takes listeners on a journey from a harsh
orphanage in old England to a treacherous sea in a decrepit old tub.
Aboard the Never Land is a trunk that holds a magical substance with
the power to change the fate of the world - just a sprinkle and wounds
heal; just a dusting and people can fly. Towering seas and a violent
storm are the backdrop for battles at sea. Bone-crushing waves
eventually land our characters on Mollusk Island - where the action
really heats up.
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.
