This book continues my favorite series so well. Between shadow demons, Arabic pirates, spaceships, and Caribbean pirates, this was such a fun read!

A strong conclusion to the Peter and the Starcatchers trilogy (though I think there are still more books, so I have to figure that out...) that wraps up how Peter got the last name Pan, why Ombra has been pursuing starstuff, who the Lost Boys in Jim Barrie's book are, why Peter later came to visit Wendy, and so much more. I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first two--possibly because I've just been tired while reading it, but it felt like there was too much going on. In all of the books there are multiple storylines that eventually come together and that are jumped between in the different chapters with no apparent pattern. This wasn't executed as well this time--lots of anachronistic jumping. Also it seems the authors dislike the word "asked"--when characters are asking a question, it always says so-and-so "said." Not asked, not inquired, not wondered... I didn't notice this in the first book, which I listened to on CD, but it really bothered me in books 2 and 3!

The finale of one of the best trilogies I have ever read. The series was tied up great, and had a very satisfying ending. The explanations, the climaxes, and the overall story was just amazing.

Bittersweet ending saying goodbye to Molly and the original Lost Boys.

This book along with Peter & the Starcatchers and Peter & the Shadow Thieves tells the story of how Peter Pan became the boy who could fly. These three books also explain such mysteries as how Captain Hook came to live on the island, why no one ever ages in Neverland, and how the Darling family came to know Peter Pan.

Peter & the Secret of Rundoon is the third of these three books. Make sure you read the other two first or the last one probably won't make sense. All three are a fun, adventurous backstory to Barrie's Peter Pan.

Glad I read this, even though I read the first two so long ago. I like the new setting.
