Peter and the Starcatchers by Dave Barry & Ridley Pearson
This is supposed to be a retold story of Peter Pan, but it has a lot more adventure and way more details. It tells what happened before Peter Pan became the Peter Pan he is now. It was so fun to read I just couldn't put it down. I loved it!
Best? Hardly. on its own, sure. As a prequel to "Peter Pan" - absolutely not. Peter Pan already HAD a backstory and these guys totally ignore it. What's more, they ignore just about every fact in Barrie's original stories. There are a TON of mistakes. They even change Peter's personality and the reason he doesn't grow up! How can they be SO disrespectful? Did they even READ Barrie?
