An orphan kid called Peter and his enigmatic new buddy, Molly, battle bands of pirates and thieves in an intense and action-packed adventure on the high seas and on a distant island in order to protect a wondrous secret and preserve the world from evil. Rewinding time, best-selling writers Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson present the amazing tale that comes before J. M. Barrie's well-known Peter Pan. Richly realised characters abound in Peter and the Starcatchers, from the menacing but strangely familiar Black Stache and the vicious Mister Grin to the refined yet endearing Molly and the valiant Peter. Readers of all ages go on a perilous maritime trip from a dirty, criminal-infested port in ancient England through page after page of gripping encounters. The "greatest treasure on earth" is said to be hidden in a trunk on board the Neverland, but is it really made of diamonds, gold, or something even more sinister and dangerous?
Battles at sea take place against a background of violent storms, roaring seas, and pirate betrayal. Our protagonists finally arrive on Mollusk Island, where the action truly picks up, thanks to bone-crushing breakers.
This gripping story will leave readers with vivid memories that are both mysterious and enchanting, while being full of peril.
