Peter and the Sword of Mercy is the newest book in the Peter and the Starcatchers series by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson. This series is the background story behind Peter Pan and how he came to be the Peter we know. The first few books follow Peter and his friend Molly, whose father is a member of the Starcatchers, who search for "starstuff" that has fallen from the sky in hopes of protecting it from the "Others." This particular book takes place when Molly is all grown up and married and has three children, including a girl named Wendy.
I really liked reading this book. It was different from the earlier books in the series since it took place later in time, which made it kind of fun. This is a great series with a creative storyline. The books are entertaining with a lot of humor (Dave Barry's touch, I presume) but are also descriptive and exciting. I'd recommend this series to upper elementary kids or those of you older folks like me who enjoy kid series.
Rating: * * * (3/3 = Loved it)
