Peter Pan and the Starcatchers

Series: Peter Pan and the Starcatchers
Books in the series: 5
Series Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★
The beloved Peter Pan stories are brought back by the talented Dave Berry and Ridley Pearson.
Plot: Peter, an orphan, is put on a ship headed for a treacherous land with an even worse ruler. On the journey, though, Peter finds a chest that holds unimaginable power. This wonderful series go back and fills in all the holes from the original movie, such as why Peter can fly, who the lost boys were, and how he met Molly, Wendy's mother.

Rating: PG
Why? The "D" word is used very sparingly. Aside from that, the books are completely and totally kid-friendly.

Likes: As I previously stated, this series gives us a behind-the-scenes look at Peter's backstory, answering questions about his childhood, Captain Hook, and Neverland.

Dislikes: Although the storyline is brilliant, there were a few times where the story gets slow. I found a few of the chapters were hard to get through, do to a lack of action.
But hey, it isn't for everyone! :)
