I found this book in the high school library to read to the student I work with, because she loves to hear about pixie-dust and Peter Pan.
We had a wonderful time reading it this year.
The story was full of adventures for Peter and Molly.
There were many fantastic things that happened to Peter and Molly. One thing my student liked was the talking porpoise. She also loved all the magical moments.
We were both captured with the whole flying stuff!
We recommend you pick this book up to read if you like anything to do with Pixies, Peter Pan and flying!

My kids and I listened to this on audio in the car on the way to flute lessons and homeschool co-op and in the house during lunch when I got tired of reading aloud between bites of cold warmed-over leftovers.
Imagining Peter Pan's origin story is a lovely idea, and it was well executed. There were a few too many twists and turns for my taste (they just became exhausting by the end), but the main thing I didn't like about the book was that it was so violent. Yes, the original is violent, too, but I don't remember J.M. Barrie's version having quite so much gushing blood.
I also have mixed feelings about how often my 4.5-year-old tells me to walk the plank since we started listening to this story. It's cute, but I'm not a strong enough swimmer for that kind of thing.

This book (the entire series, in fact) is one that I can go back and re-read forever and never be tired of. I absolutely adore this story and the authors take on Peter Pan. I don't even have a proper way to describe my feeling about the book. All I can say is that it is probably one of my favorite books of all time and seriously underrated. That being said, I'm off to re-read it again!

A fun adventure! I was, as I expected, terrified of the transformation of fish into mermaids. It's no wonder seamen were frightened/attracted to them.

Very fun adventure that is also a kind of prequel to Peter Pan. I liked it quite a bit.

Again, I find myself rereading my old books and feeling nostalgic for the first time I read them. I love this series, and the first book is no different. I am able to fly with Peter, and I love the authors who made this story possible.
Peter and the Starcatchers is a great opener to a wonderful series. You definitely should read it.
