Peter and other orphan boys are placed on the ship Neverland and set sail for Rundoon  not knowing that they are accompanying Molly Aster, a starcatcher.  When the ship is attacked by pirates searching for a trunk filled with starstuff, the adventures begin!

This book was loads of fun, sort of a prequel to Peter Pan showing how Peter became the way he is, why he can fly, how Neverland got its name, and even the birth of Tinker Bell.

Looking forward to the next adventure!
