In this second book of the prequel series to the original Peter Pan, the bad guys sail to Neverland to get the starstuff. Unfortunately, it is not there and they head to England to get it. Peter has to get there to warn Molly and her father that they are coming with this terrible creature who can take over people's shadows and thereby control the people. While this is a hearty read (556 pages), I am throughly enjoying this series especially since our school just performed the play, "Peter Pan." What is interesting in this book, the Starcatcher creature gave me a similar feeling as did "He who must not be named" in Harry Potter. This is a good read!
