Peter and the Starcatchers
By Barry & Pearson
A magical prequel to J. M. Barrie's beloved classic, Peter Pan.
Discover the origins of Peter Pan in this swashbuckling tale, full of black and white illustrations! When Peter, along with his fellow orphans, boards the Never Land, it is only the start of his adventures! Befriending Molly, he discovers a treasure chest of starstuff – the most magical substance ever known to man. Peter and Molly must stop it falling into the hands of a dastardly (but eerily familiar) pirate and his murderous crew. Shipwrecked, befriended by mermaids, captured by savages and attacked by a giant crocodile – will they ever succeed?
- “Peter Pan fans will find much to like in a what-if scenario that plays respectful tribute to the original.” Publisher’s Weekly
