Summary
Dave Barry, Ridley Pearson: Peter and the Starcatchers
Who was Peter before he became Pan?
He was an orphan, a ward of the Home of St. Norbert. With four friends from home, he was sent on a ship with the significant name Neverland - which, as they soon found out, was taking them to be enslaved by the cruel king Zarboff the Third! While making escape plans with the group, Petar met a girl named Molly Aster, who charmed him with her heart and beautiful green eyes.
However, Petar soon discovers that Molly is more than just a girl: she belongs to a society of star hunters, collectors of the secret substance that falls from the stars and creates everything that is magical in this world - as well as everything that is demonic... Just a thorn and wounds will heal, just a pinch and people will poletjeti.
Pustolovi, pripremite se! Oceans, pirate battles, desert islands, Indians and fairies are sprinkled with stardust in the first adventure of one of the most beloved characters in children's literature of all time. Pulitzer Prize winner Dave Barry and his co-author Ridley Pearson masterfully follow the style, charm and irresistibility of J.M. Barrie's classic - and at the same time create an entirely new, engaging narrative.
This edition is equipped with original illustrations by Greg Call.
