Relation In Favor Of Books The Bridge to Never Land (Peter and the Starcatchers #5)
Aidan and Sarah Cooper have no idea what they're getting into one afternoon when they discover a mysterious coded document in a secret compartment of an antique English desk their father recently brought at an auction. Something about the document seems familiar to Sarah, and that night she realizes what it is: the document seems to be referring to some books she has read - the Starcatchers series, about the origin of Peter Pan. But how could that be? The document seems far older than the books. And of course, the books are just stories.... Curious, Sarah and Aidan begin to decipher the mysterious document. At first it's a game - unraveling the mystery piece by piece, each piece leading them to a new, deeper puzzle. But soon the game turns strange - and scary. They discover that the "stories" are real, and that what they thought was a fictional battle between good and evil is still going on. And the scariest part is: They have become part of it. Pursued by a being that can take any form and will stop at nothing to get what it wants from them, Aidan and Sarah embark on a desperate, thrilling quest for help - a quest that leads them to some unforgettable people in some unlikely places, including one that's not supposed to exist at all. At each step they must solve new puzzles and escape new dangers, all the while knowing that is they fail, the evil they are fleeing will be let loose on an unsuspecting world.Rating Containing Books The Bridge to Never Land (Peter and the Starcatchers #5)

I read this story aloud to my 9 year old daughter...we are fans of the "Peter and the Starcatchers" series and really looked forward to this book. I have to say that it is very different than the previous series. I found the idea of this wonderfully rich and detailed world that explained how Peter and the Lost Boys came to be in Never Land, and where exactly Captain Hook came from, to be absolutely wonderful. We were enthralled throughout all of the first four books. This story was engaging,Sometimes its just nice to read a book that is pure adventure and fun. While this is technically the fifth novel in the Peter and the Starcatchers series, it is really a little bit separate. This time around, the authors decided to do something different and it really paid off. Frankly, the series was starting to grow a little stale and a bit repetitive, so much so that I was reluctant to even read this one, even though its been sitting on my shelf for quite a while now. The original series took
I mostly liked it, but there were too many brand names being dropped, maybe to contribute to the new, modern feel of this book compared to the other Starcatchers books. I also felt like Aidan was too wimpy and anti-adventure. He had a lot of good points in arguing with his sister about why they shouldn't embark on this adventure, enough that it almost convinced me. I was not as caught up in the story because I was thinking, "Yeah, he's right! Why are they even doing any of this stuff?" My final

Okay, I have a lot of feeling about this book. See, I was perfectly content with the Starcatchers series being a trilogy, but I couldn't say that I wasn't excited about the fourth one coming out about three years ago. It wasn't as good as the other three, but it was a nice addition to the series that I've probably read more times than Harry Potter (which is quite a lot).This book was interesting. My friend told me about it a while ago but I didn't really know what she was talking about until I
An avid fan of the "Peter and the Starcatchers" books, I was excited for this new installment to come out. Unfortunately, it was a disappointment. The first 3/4 of this book has none of the magic of the original series. Somehow transporting the Neverland story to modern day, making the characters much older, and including the original series as "reference" books to the characters made the tale feel cheapened and a tad ridiculous. I was also very put off by the behavior of the teenaged
I consider the first four books in the Starcatchers series to be second to only the Harry Potter series for children and adults alike. This is the fifth in the series and goes a different direction than the other four. It is enjoyable and worth a read but nowhere near the quality of the first four. Still clean and appropriate for all ages.
My six-year-old and I enjoyed the audiobook together. Sadly this book was read by a different reader than the previous books and while he was ok, he wasn't Jim Dale.This book offers a modern day American twist on the original series. It's a fun fast paced story and most of it deserved four stars but I had a couple of complaints that caused me to lower the rating. First, I didn't connect very well with the kids in the story and mostly just found them annoying. My biggest complaint though is the
