Product Description

From School Library Journal

Grade 4-7–In this sequel to Peter and the Starcatchers (Hyperion, 2004), trouble arrives at Mollusk Island (otherwise known as Never Land) in the form of a ship filled with nefarious characters searching for the trunk of starstuff that the Starcatchers spirited away in the first book. When the bad guys, led by nonhuman Lord Ombra, learn that it is in London, they sail off in pursuit, and it takes the combined efforts of Peter, Tinker Bell, and Peter's friend Molly's Starcatcher family to ensure that it is returned to outer space before Lord Ombra can use it to rule the world. Kids won't have to have read the first book to dive headfirst into this one; it is filled with enough rollicking, death-defying adventure to satisfy anyone. Readers familiar with James Barrie's Peter Pan (or even the Disney animated version) will immediately recognize and enjoy familiar characters, but it is when the action switches to London that the plot really starts to sizzle. Breathless chases and near-death experiences are spiced with a miasma of Dickensian squalor, creating scenes that are rich in color and action if short on in-depth characterization. This should appeal to fantasy and adventure fans alike.–Eva Mitnick, Los Angeles Public Library

From Booklist

Gr. 5-8. In this second prequel to the adventures made familiar by J. M. Barrie and Walt Disney, which builds on the events of Peter and the Starcatchers (2005), two veteran writers for adults do not disappoint. Sustaining the first book's lively pace are short chapters packed with action and well-chosen details--both icky (Peter and the bucket of excrement!) and marvelous (the pitch-perfect sound of Tink's exasperation). An evil force is once again trying to obtain starstuff, the magical substance that, among many other qualities, enables Peter to fly and to remain eternally youthful. Peter must visit London to help his friend Molly and her family of starcatchers, leaving the boys on Mollusk Island at the mercy of Hook. Squalid London streets, aristocratic mansions (one of which houses a young George Darling), and even Stonehenge make atmospheric backdrops for bouts with pirates, wolf packs, and a deliciously creepy villain who steals souls from shadows. Readers will relish the chance to further explore the backstory of a favorite childhood tale, and hope for a third installment. GraceAnne DeCandido

4.0 out of 5 stars A sequel to a prequel, Oct 21 2006

By	Amanda Richards "Modest to the extreme" (Georgetown, Guyana) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Peter and the Shadow Thieves (Hardcover)

The follow up to the Peter Pan prequel "Peter and the Starcatchers" is a hefty book that may scare some of the more timid readers among us. 556 pages seems like a lot, but there's a lot of action that keeps the pages turning, and I finished it a lot faster than I thought I would.

If you're scared of the dark and tend to jump at shadows this may not be the ideal book for you, because even though it's not scary, it has a lot of dark content. Peter Pan sets off on a rescue mission to London to warn Molly about a sinister plan to seize the trunk of starstuff in her father's care, and takes some big hits to his ego when Tinkerbell has to bail him out of trouble over and over again.

While he's off saving the world, Captain Hook has plans for the Lost Boys on Neverland, and even Fighting Prawn can't help them when the trap is sprung. Oliver Twist meets Stonehenge, and mind control meshes with inter-terrestrial beams of light in this action/fantasy story that builds to a climax, and then ends with a wonderfully mighty splat.
