i consider this book a worthy follow up of Peter and the Starcatchers, filled with crafty wit and actions from both the heroes and villians that keep you on your toes until the very end! (

Definitely not just a book for kids. It's a fresh take on the Peter Pan story, that is clever and enjoyable for young and old alike. (

This is about a boy that had recently earned some flying powers (read the first book, Peter and the Starcatchers) and eternal youth. This boy is about to experience the real meaning of EVIL when he faces this gliding shadow thief that steals other's shoadows to gain control. His dreaded name is Ombra. (

Second in the series. I didn't enjoy it as well as the first book, but it was still a fun ride (

In this riveting andadventure-packed follow-up to Peter and the Starcatchers, we discover Peter leaving the relative safety of MolluskIsland-along with his trusted companion Tinker Bell-for the cold, damp streetsof London. On a difficult journey across the sea, he and Tink discover the darkand deadly, slithering part-man/part-creature Lord Ombra. It seems that thedreaded Ombra has a variety of mysterious powers including the ability to makeshadows disappear. When Peter reaches London, he sets out to find theindomitable Molly. Together they must combat Ombra's terrible forces to bothprotect the Starcatchers and the treasured starstuff and most importantly torescue Molly's mother from the clutches of evil. Dave Barry and Ridley Pearsonhave done it again-written a compulsively readable, impossible-to-put-down talethat will delight readers of all ages.
