PETER AND THE STARCATCHERS Published by Disney Editions/Hyperion Books for Children. For publicity information, email Jennifer Levine. In an evocative and fast-paced adventure on the high seas and on a faraway island, an orphan boy names 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. Award-winning 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. 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. Page after page of riveting adventures take readers on a journey from a filthy, crime-ridden port in old England across the turbulent sea. Aboard the Never Land is a trunk that holds a magical substance that amazes just a sprinkle, and wounds heal; just a dusting, and people can fly. Rolling seas and dangerous thunderstorms are the backdrop for battles at sea. Bone-crushing waves eventually land our characters on Prawn Island where the action really heats up. This impossible-to-put-down tale leads readers on an unforgettable journey, fraught with danger yet filled with mystical and magical things. * Kirkus Reviews Download the reader's guide for Peter and Starcatchers from the Hyperion site!
