So I was in the mood for something light and just a bit brainless, and dove into my daughters shelves for the first book in Dave Barry and Ridley Pearsons Peter Pan prequels, called Peter and the Starcatchers. And oh, what fun this was.

The story is essentially the adventure that got Peter and the Lost Boys to Neverland, introduced his pirate nemesis (here called The Black Stache, as hes pre-hook), and birthed Tinkerbell. Barry and Pearson did an awesome job of creating characters full of personality and a thirst for adventure, and villains worthy of the name.

This book was a joy to read. Its absolutely suitable for kids (for whom it was written) as well as adults craving light, fun adventure.

4 of 5 stars.
