Publisher Description

While Peter is away from the island, James and the other Lost Boys discover a mysterious cave. Shining Pearl and her sister, Little Scallop, warn the boys that the cave is a dangerous place, inhabited by a creature known as the Goat Taker - a beast so scary that even the Mollusk tribe fears it. But the boys can't resist trying to discover the cave's secrets.

When the first of those secrets turns out to be a tantalizing hint of a famous haunted treasure, Captain Hook and his band of cutthroat pirates quickly join the hunt. Before long, the children are fleeing for their lives in a dark and deadly underground labyrinth...and their only hope of escape is to solve the mystery of the Cave of the Dark Wind.

"To me this felt like Lost Boys meets the Goonies. But I liked it. It was amazingly fleshed out for a short story. The Lost Boys (minus Peter) plus one of the Natives, Shining Pearl, travel into a cave looking for treasure and trying to avoid the "Goat-taker" Meanwhile, the dastardly Captain Hook plus cronies follow them in. Add in a curse, mysterious noises, and a maze of tunnels, and you have quite the adventure. I would recommend reading this after reading at least a few of the Peter and the Starcatchers."

    " Shorter book about some adventures the lost boys had while Peter was away (in the Shadow Thieves story). "

    " Cute, fast read. I wanted to read this because it was written by Dave Barry (who I generally think is super funny). I wanted to see how he wrote for kids. It was cute. It's part of a series published by Disney about Peter Pan. This book was about some adventures by the Lost Boys. It was fun to read since those characters are so in my head from the movie. I liked the idea of learning what happens to them after the movie... "

    " This is book 2 in the Never Land Adventure series by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson. It's a short story that compliments the Peter and the Starcatchers books. I enjoyed this story more than the first one in the series. "

    " Like the other ones in this series if you have not read at least the first book (Peter and the Starcatchers or something like that) you have no idea what is going on or who the characters are. Also an author note that this is for younger childern but I oddly did not see how the language was for younger children in any manner. If you are reading it to them than yes its fine but if reading on their own there may be some language barriers that a parent will have to help with. "

    " Cute book in the Peter and the Star Catcher's series. It's supposedly written for younger children, but it has the same feel as the rest of the series to me (minus Peter) - it's just shorter. Highly recommend the audio read by Jim Dale. "
