Peter and the Starcatchers is both a retelling of Peter Pan (now I want to reread the original Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie) and an action adventure book. As a matter of fact, there is a LOT of action in this book. Good guys, and bad guys, and those in between - pirates and savages, and porpoises that speak a porpoise language. There are mermaids with huge mouths and devouring teeth and a huge monster that eats people. This plot twists and turns but there is often escape happening or running away or running toward.
This is an action thriller between covers.
The truth is - this just isn't my kind of book. Am I glad I read it? I think so. What I learned is that I need more from a book that action. I need something added, something to take with me. And for me - this book just didn't offer that.
BUT - you might enjoy it. If you like short chapters with lots of action, if you like retellings of stories, if you like characters that can surprise you and LOL moments - this might just be your book.
