In 6th grade for a writing project my teacher had us make our own character and write them into the book we read, which was Peter and the Starcatchers. 5 years later, I realized he had us make an OC and write fanfiction. At 3 am I found it and asked my friend if I should type it up and post it on here, and here we are.

This is the first in the series. It is so good, I couldn't believe it. I couldn't put it down, and I'm a grandma! Adults will enjoy this thoroughly. Got it and the 2nd one in the series for a birthday present for my grand-daughter. I also got the audio CD's for both to accompany them with the narrator as Jim Dale. He is probably the best narrator you will ever hear. Audio along with a physical book is a good idea as the child can read along & hear the story at the same time. It teaches them to read faster, and develops the brain also.

I've been a huge fan of Peter Pan for a long as I can remember and this series answered one question for me that anything else written had yet to answer. How does a baby, who states he left his home the day he was born live in a place where he is not supposed to age, but ages anyway? Well, this book fully answered that question as well as gave an interesting new take on how Peter Pan came to be. I randomly found this book after reading The Child Thief and thought it would be fun to go on a Peter Pan kick since I am using the movie in my ELL class so we can talk about the idea of wanting to remain a child. I will be able to use parts of this book in the lesson, but more than anything, this book was a fun read.

BEST BOOK SERIES I'VE EVER READ!!!!!!
I love this entire series. I swear, I could read it over and over and over and never get tired of it! The story goes that Peter is an orphan, going on a ship with basically pixie dust, if pixie dust did more than just make people fly. Along the way, he encounters some characters like a pirate, named Black Stache but soon to become Captain Hook, and Molly. I've never read the classic Peter Pan, but from the dedication, it sounded like a prequel to Peter Pan. And there is so much I love about this entire series that all I can really say is read it yourself and either agree or disagree with me that these books are awesome.

Peter and the Starcatchers is a very inventive, fun book for any age. if you've seen the Broadway play and expect it the book the be exactly like it, you might be disappointed... or you might like it just as much, as I did. the language is in keeping with a book from Barrie's time, tho not as overtly formal. the characters, especially Capt. Stache, are sometimes a bit over the top, but that's just more fun for me. Each of the short chapters ends with a bit of a cliffhanger, so they're perfect for reading before bedtime with children. You just want to read on and on! Molly is a great heroine (Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson both said they wrote this book for their daughters, so Molly is a strong heroine). Peter is clever and brave, and you can certainly see how he becomes Pan. Some of the violence in the latter half of the book took me a bit by surprise - the sharp-toothed "mermaids," pirates and Slank clubbing the children, etc. but, you know, that's what pirates did back then and Peter Pan had its own violence. I love a good swash and a bit of buckle, as Black Stache says in the stage show, so i found this book quite good. you also get lovely "back stories," like how the crocodile began to tick, how Hook lost his hand, and where John Darling got his top hat. That part almost made me cry.

I became a Peter Pan fan while reading this book. I love the authors' take on his origin. I also gave this book to my son's Language Arts tutor for Christmas. He was thrilled to know she loves to read it and it has become a favorite for her too.

Nalmezar

This was a great book when you take it for what it is. I thought it read very well and I was drawn in by the action. Great book to read when you're looking for a simple story and something that will draw your attention.

This really cool "prequel" answers once and for all the burning questions you have been harboring about the man-child who lives in Neverland with other little boys. No, no - not THAT one, I'm talking about Peter Pan, the fairy-loving, pirate-hating leader of the Lost Boys. (Same thing, you say - but that's a different story altogether)

It seems that Peter Pan was an orphan, who was put aboard a ship with other orphaned boys, en route to a shortened life of serving the evil King Zarboff the Third, when a chance meeting with a little girl and a mysterious crate leads to a wonderful adventure beyond his wildest dreams.

The answers to the following questions are just 480 well-spaced quick-turning pages away:

1. How did Peter Pan get to Neverland?

2. Where the heck is it anyway?

3. Where does pixie dust come from and why is it addictive?

4. Tinkerbell - fairy who looks like Julia Roberts or bird brain?

5. Mermaids - fish or just plain foul?

6. What made the natives restless?

7. Should you ever give a crocodile a hand?

An often funny, action-packed piratical yarn that's sure to delight most young readers.

The origin of Peter Pan, the Lost Boys, Capt. Hook and Neverland itself, what else could you ask for? How about a prequel to the 100 year old classic co-written by Dave Barry? How about an unabridged reading by JIM DALE, best known as the voice of the HARRY POTTER audios. Well boy, are you in luck!!!!

Thanks to Mr. Dave Barry, Mr. Ridley Pearson and Mr. Jim Dale the characters come alive in the same way that the darlings did upon a first read. The magic lives in the rapport between a famous pirate and his oafish first-mate, the rapport between Peter and the boys. Award-winning Jim Dale give each character a clear voice and unique enough dialect so that the listener can sort out who is saying what from moment to moment, with little cues from the author.

Since it is a prequel the absence of the Darlings is keenly felt, but Peter's reactions to willful Molly the Starcatcher's apprentice is a fine precursor to his later behavior towards

Wendy in the original. Dave Barry's sense of humor lends it self easily to the material and to Dale's reading of "Starchasers."
