Book Reviews of Peter and the Shadow Thieves
Book Review: Adventurous! by A.K. From Annapolis
Summary: 5 Stars
If you like adventure books that are scary, this is the book for you! Peter and the Shadow Thieves by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson is about a boy named Peter who has to save his friend, Molly, from a Shadow Thief who is after the starstuff (stuff that falls from the sky). The main characters are Peter who always taunts Black Stache, Black Stache (aka Captain Hook) who is always trying to catch Peter and Molly, Molly who always wants to help her dad, and Lord Ombra who takes people's shadows. This story takes place in Never Land and London. Peter tries to save Molly Aster and her family from the Shadow Thieves. A problem is that Peter gets put in jail and that slows him down. My favorite character is Molly because she likes to go adventures.
I can relate to Molly because she barely sees her dad just like me. That is my text-to-self connection. Also, I felt sad like Molly when someone I knew died.
I liked this book because I love scary books. My favorite part was when Peter dropped the mango on Black Stache's head! There was no part of the book I didn't like! If I changed anything it would ruin the book! I think that a boy who likes adventure, ages 11-13, would like this book. Don't forget to read the first book in this series, Peter and the Starcatchers and the third book Peter and the Secret of Rundoon!
Summary of Peter and the Shadow Thieves
In this riveting and adventure-packed follow-up to Peter and the Starcatchers, we discover Peter leaving the relative safety of Mollusk Island-along with his trusted companion Tinker Bell-for the cold, damp streets of London. On a difficult journey across the sea, he and Tink discover the dark and deadly, slithering part-man/part-creature Lord Ombra. It seems that the dreaded Ombra has a variety of mysterious powers including the ability to make shadows disappear. When Peter reaches London, he sets out to find the indomitable Molly. Together they must combat Ombra's terrible forces to both protect the Starcatchers and the treasured starstuff and most importantly to rescue Molly's mother from the clutches of evil. Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson have done it again-written a compulsively readable, impossible-to-put-down tale that will delight readers of all ages.General Books
