Before I know it, I’m another hundred pages in. They also continue to exercise their superb talent for funny dialogue and keep their characters on the brink of disaster. Barry take the shadow theme and give it a huge new significance. Like book one, the sequel continues to tie well-known details from the classic story into new adventures. Peter must help the Asters return the stardust to the heavens before the Others get ahold of it, but Ombra proves a much cannier adversary than any he’s yet faced.
The old villain Slank is among their number, along with a new nemesis, Captain Nerezza, and a cold, raspy creature called Lord Ombra who controls people by stealing their shadows. But he and Tink have to stow away on the very boat that carries the Others. But when he learns the Others (evil ones who seek to rule the world with the power of stardust) have tracked the huge shipment of stardust to the Asters, he doesn’t hesitate to travel to their rescue. Peter chose to stay in Never Land with the lost boys rather than live with Molly and her family in London.
The pre-adventures of Peter Pan continue, and they’re just as fun and fantastic in Peter and the Shadow Thieves as they are in book one.
