A review by laurak23
The Bridge to Never Land by Dave Barry, Ridley Pearson
3.0
I was excited to have a chance to return to the world of the Starcatchers. I knew this book would be different, as it's set in present-day times.
I thought the premise was interesting. Kids find something that leads them to believe their beloved series of books is not fiction or fantasy but reality! I liked their adventures, even if it felt a little forced that they just so happened to be going to England right after they found the letter. However, I liked their road trip and their trek to Disney World. I didn't realize how much I missed Jim Dale's narration until I got to the Never Land chapters.
I had fun with the story, but it wasn't nearly as good as the first four books. My biggest gripe was how obnoxious and disrespectful Sarah and Aidan could be sometimes. Other than that, I don't really have anything negative to say about this book. It just lacked some of the spark that the first set of books had.
