I've recently finished reading a three-book "prequel" to the Peter Pan story. What a delightful March! The three books are the product of the ever-zany Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson.
Ridley Pearson's daughter, Paige, asked him one night how a flying boy met a certain pirate. One thing led to another, and with a cross-continent e-mail connection, Ridley and Dave swapped story ideas and then chapters.

The "Starcatcher Trilogy" is the focus of the ReadMOre enterprise this spring. I hope you'll check the ReadMOre web site for program details as well as ways to interact about the books online. I've put a blog there to get things rolling.

As entertaining as these stories may be, they can't truly be called prequels to anything but the Disney movie. They contradict MANY facts of Barrie's original stories. Peter Pan had a backstory... and these aren't it. Actually, ALL of the prequels and sequels that have come out aren't faithful to Barrie.
Except one.
There's a new novel and it's not only true to Barrie, it uses his ideas for more Peter Pan adventure!
