A review by julia_roxxanne
The Bridge to Never Land by Dave Barry, Ridley Pearson

4.0

Four stars because it wasn't as good as the first Peter and the Starcatchers books, but nevertheless engaging. It took a little getting used to as this book is set in modern day America/England, and the characters tote around iDevices and use Google, trains, planes, and the like. I'm a little disappointed the Peter Pan himself didn't show up until the last few chapters, but I was grateful that he appeared AND had a classic Peter v. Captain Hook showdown (because one does not simply write a book about Peter Pan and exclude Captain Hook). The ending is a tad unsatisfactory because the story isn't wrapped up and leaves loose ends hanging around to be tied up in other books, but that is fairly typical of all the Starcatchers books (at least from what I remember). All in all, a fun, lighthearted read, with the trademark sarcastic humor included.
