PATRON PICKS -- Peter and the Starcatchers

Elle's Pick:  Peter and the Starcatchers, by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson

Synopsis:

Don’t even think of starting this book unless you’re sitting in a comfortable chair and have lots of time. A fast-paced, impossible-to-put-down adventure awaits as the young orphan Peterand his mates are dispatched to an island ruled by the evil King Zarboff. They set sail aboard the Never Land, a ship carrying a precious and mysterious trunk in its cargo hold, and the journey quickly becomes fraught with excitement and danger.

Discover richly developed characters in the sweet but sophisticated Molly, the scary but familiar Black Stache, and the fearless Peter. Treacherous battles with pirates, foreboding thunderstorms at sea, and evocative writing immerses the reader in a story that slowly and finally reveals the secrets and mysteries of the beloved Peter Pan. (Barnes and Noble book summary)

Elle says:  It had so many interesting fantasy subjects with loads of suspense.  With so-called monsters, it takes a fantasy we know and explains it to match this terrific tale.
