It is an opportunity to express themselves through the actions of a character. This is something that bothers me about most tween and teen literature, yet I can see the appeal for a teen who is still trying to find himself. Like Harry Potter and Percy Jackson, Molly, with George Darling, wants to chart her own fate and decide the best course of action. Even the choices that counter their parent’s (or other adult’s) wisdom and better judgment.

In most books where a teen is the central hero, many of the decisions made lead the character to success, regardless of the inherent dangers. I enjoyed this book as much as the other two, especially seeing the layers that the authors create that tie into the Peter Pan folklore. Harking to my review of Peter and the Shadow Thieves, there is not much I can tell you about Rundoon that won’t spoil the first two books. The unique talents of Barry and Pearson blend to re-imagine the origins and backstory of Peter Pan, adding new characters that interact seamlessly with our heroes. The third book in the Starcatchers series continues the fantastic storytelling, character development and excitement of the previous entries. 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.Peter and the Secret of Rundoon (The Starcatchers) by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson. Bone-crushing waves eventually land our characters on Mollusk Island - where the action really heats up. Towering seas and a violent storm are the backdrop for battles at sea.

Aboard the Never Land is a trunk that holds a magical substance with the power to change the fate of the world - just a sprinkle and wounds heal just a dusting and people can fly.

This riveting adventure takes listeners on a journey from a harsh orphanage in old England to a treacherous sea in a decrepit old tub. In an evocative and fast-paced adventure on the high seas and on a faraway island, an orphan boy named 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. Best-selling authors Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson have turned back the clock and revealed a wonderful story that precedes J.
