Peter and the Shadow Thieves Review
User Submitted Peter and the Shadow Thieves ReviewsSeptember 19, 2008 Peter goes to London This is the second book about Peter and what happened to him before he met Wendy. It was very enjoyable, very well-written, and followed very much in the style and story type of the first book. If you liked the first one, you'll like this one. A strange group of pirates lands on Mollusk island looking for the chest of starstuff that Peter and Molly had brought there. Of course, we know the starstuff has been returned to London. The pirates quickly find out and head off to London. Peter is concerned about one of the pirate crew Lord Ombra who appears to take over people through their shadows. He decides to accompany the pirates back to London in an effort to warn Molly about their intentions. But things aren't always that simple. This was a fast-paced book, it was very well-written and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I look forward to reading the third and final book of the series. I was a little disappointed that the rest of the Lost Boys played such a small role in this book; but I guess these books are about Peter after all. This book also has a somewhat open ending that will hopefully be resolved in the third book. karissabook.blogspot.com September 12, 2008 Peter and The Shadow Thieves... I received the book in a timely manner. I wanted to get it for my little brother who couldn't find the 2nd one at any of the local book stores. It came in quickly and he is enjoying reading it. He was so excited. August 26, 2008 As Good As The First Another absolutely charming and action packed installment of the Peter series. As an adult, much of the fun I derive from these books are the clever way the characters you're familiar with come into being, as well as in this book the cameo appearance by a certain author who will figure heavily in Peter's future. Picking up almost where the last book left off, Peter must race to London to warn Molly of an evil figure named Lord Ombra who snatchers people's shadows rendering them near lifeless automatons, in an effort to reclaim the starstuff from Molly's father. Looking forward to the next. July 7, 2008 Great Boook I bought this book for my son who is going into 6th grade for summer reading. It's not easy to get him to read in the summer. He loved it and couldn't put it down. Now he's reading the sequel. May 15, 2008 Entire Series is EXCELLENT! If you like the notion of Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, etc. this series is really excellent. I don't use the word WONDERFUL much, but they're a great read. They really do carry on the story of Peter and his friends in a believable and fun way. Really AWESOME and you won't be disappointed. The entire series is highly recommended - all three books so far. April 13, 2008 peter and the shadow thieves I guess it is a good book, I gave it to my great grandson, because he loves to read. January 4, 2008 Pretty good Peter Peter (of Neverland fame) hitches a ride on a ship filled with Very Bad Men and goes back to London to warn his friend Molly of the danger that races towards her and her family. The Starchasers are in grave trouble this time. This is a great, fun book. Inventive, funny, fast-paced. The characters are fleshed-out and believable. The baddies are very bad. December 27, 2007 Peter and the Shadow Thieves Fabulous book! My kids and I liked it even better than the first one in this series (Peter and the Star Catchers), which we also loved! These books are prequels to the original Peter Pan and are very well written. It has lots of very short chapters, which makes it easy to read with your children. It gets you very interested in what is going on with one character, then switches back to a different character, which makes you not want to stop reading it! This one is more intense than the first one and might be a little scary for younger children. December 21, 2007 Great book for all ages! A wonderful book about the continuing story of Peter Pan. I bought it for my kids to read and ended up reading it myself and enjoyed every minute. November 21, 2007 Peter Pan Revised for Pre-Teens This book is about the character of Peter Pan but it's not exactly the original story, written by Peter Barrie. This story is about how a stranger named Lord Ombra comes to the island where Peter lives. Lord Ombra can take your shadow away from you and therefore control you. Lord Ombra is trying to find Molly's (Wendy's) father, Lord Aster, so that he can get the stardust from him. Stardust is a very powerful material that comes from the stars which gave Peter his ability to fly. Lord Aster catches some stardust and sends it back to the sky. He does this because of its great power; if it fell into the wrong hands, stardust could become a very dangerous weapon. This is a good book because the characters are the same as the original story of Peter Pan but they're different enough to be more interesting. If you think that this is going to be a little kid's story because it's a Peter Pan story, then you're wrong. This book has lots of action in it, not little kid stuff. I would recommend this book to readers from 6th to 8th grade. Abby A. For more Peter and the Shadow Thieves reviews click here.
