Publisher Description

The year is 1902 - it's been 23 years since Peter and the Lost Boys returned from Rundoon. Since then, nobody on the island has grown a day older, and the Lost Boys continue their friendship with the Mollusk tribe and their rivalry with Captain Hook.

Meanwhile, in London, Molly has married George Darling and is raising three children: Wendy, Michael, and John. One night, a visitor appears at her door; it's James, one of Peter's original Lost Boys. He is now working for Scotland Yard and suspects that the heir to England's throne, Prince Albert Edward, is under the influence of shadow creatures. These shadow creatures are determined to find a secret cache of starstuff, which fell to London many centuries ago. The starstuff is hidden in an underground vault, which has only one key: the Sword of Mercy, a legendary weapon kept with the crown jewels.

Molly is determined to locate and protect it, but when she suddenly goes missing, it is up to her 11-year-old daughter, Wendy, to keep it out of the Others' clutches. Wendy has heard her mother's stories of a flying boy named Peter Pan, and he may be her only hope of saving the world from a shadowy doom.

"A worthy addition to the Dave Barry/Ridley Pearson version of Peter Pan. The story's pacing is well done and it's interesting for adults, yet not too scarry for children who can read alone. I really have enjoyed this series and do hope that they will continue to add books that are just as well done."

    " This was another great book in the Starcatchers series. Even though the last time I read this book was in God knows how many years, I'm still excited about the fifth one (or so I read somewhere that they were coming out with a fifth one, "Peter and the Bridge to Neverland," or something like that).
