Peter and the Starcatchers By:Dave Ridley and Barry Pearson

New phenomena’s are always amazing and a little bit scary at the same time. When Peter discovers that there is a chest of star stuff on the ship he is on, he is bewildered. His curiosity soon takes hold of him as he finds himself sneaking around after dark in restricted territories trying to figure out what the star stuff is.

When Peter first meets Molly, her intelligence, beauty and her unnatural green eyes fascinate him. Peter soon finds himself having to make a life threatening decision; to trust Molly or do what he thinks is right.


The characters in this book are very interesting. Peter is an orphan along with all his other friends who boarded the Neverland ship. Molly is one of the more high-class people on the ship. While Molly has buffets and bread and delicious food, Peter was forced to have bugs, lard and rats, and that is how it all began. Peter was looking for food when he found the star stuff and that’s why this whole fiasco happened, which turned into a very interesting, breath taking book.


This book is very adventurous, fast action, and humorous. From fighting pirates, to battling floating crocodiles this book covers all the bases.
“An undergarment of fantastic size, as if made for a giant women” (102). This is just one line of the book where the pirates designed their sails from a women’s undergarments.


I loved this story, it is one of the most interesting books I have ever read. Unlike other books, this book takes a hold of you and just wont let go. You will end up staying awake for hours just to find out what happens next, and just when you find out what happens another interesting twist will happen. If your are looking for a short action filled book “Peter and the Starcatchers” - is the book for you! It wont take you very long to finish because you wont be able to set it down. I highly recommend this book and I hope you find it as amazing as I did.
