story of the orphan Peter and his latest adventures with the
Starcatchers. The "Starcatchers" series is an epic story of a battle
between good and evil, incorporating a reimagined version of
characters and situations from J.M. Barrie's classic novel Peter and
Wendy. It was illustrated by artist Greg Call.The series continues in
Peter and the Secret of Rundoon, Peter and the Sword of Mercy, and The
Bridge to Never Land. Hyperion also released a series of short short
chapter books by the same authors, detailing daily misadventures of
the Lost Boys.The book starts three months after the end of Peter and
the Starcatchers. Peter, James, Thomas, Prentiss, and Tubby Ted have
settled on the island, with Tinker Bell keeping a watchful eye on
Peter and the pirates, led by Black Stache (who now goes by the lies
"Captain Hook" since his initial fight with Peter), have erected and
settled into a fort. Around this time, Le Fantome, under scarred
Captain Nerezza, finds Mollusk Island after weeks of searching,
accompanied by the vengeful Slank and the dark, menacing, mysterious
entity known as Lord Ombra. During a confrontation with Hook as Peter
and the mermaids rescue a captured James, a posse fromLe Famtome hold
a nighttime standoff with the Mollusk tribe over the location of the
large quantity of Starstuff that had briefly been on the island. After
Ombra deduces that the Starstuff was taken by Lord Aster and the
Starcatchers, the group leaves the island and immediately set sail for
England. Peter, having witnessed the confrontation, decides that he
must warn Molly of the approaching danger and stows away on the ship
with Tinker Bell.The Asters receive a tip from the dolphins warning
them of the landing party on Mollusk Island and the presence of the
inhuman Ombra, prompting Leonard Aster to leave London with the
Starstuff and guard it in a hidden location until the Return (the
starstuff would be sent back into the heavens), leaving new nightmen
to guard Molly and her mother, Louise. Meanwhile, Peter's presence on
the ship is detected by Lord Ombra, forcing Peter to fake his death by
temporarily jumping ship before flying back on board. When they arrive
in London, Peter and Tinker Bell take off to find the Aster mansion
but quickly become lost in the city. Peter and Tink are later captured
and separated by a constable and a bird seller, respectively, but Tink
is able to escape and save Peter from a court hearing. They continue
to search for the Aster mansion in upper-class parts of London. Peter and the Shadow Thieves Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
