My Review: This book is a part of a series. It is a young adult series about the origins of Peter Pan. It's actually very clever and very fun to read. It makes the original story make more sense! Haha, even though this isn't what the original story is based on by any means, it is still thoroughly enjoyable and I would highly suggest reading it if you are looking for a fun, quick, read! 

Peter and the Sword of Mercy ****

by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson
Book Type: Children, Fantasy 

Summary: The year is 1901--it's been twenty-three years since Peter and the Lost Boys returned from Rundoon. Since then, nobody on the island has grown a day older, and the Lost Boys continue their friendship with the Mollusk tribe, and their rivalry with Captain Hook. Meanwhile in London, Molly has married George Darling and is raising three children: Wendy, Michael, and John. One night a visitor appears at her door; it's James, one of Peter's original Lost Boys. He is now working for Scotland Yard and suspects that the heir to England's throne, Prince Albert Edward, is under the influence of shadow creatures. These shadow creatures are determined to find a secret cache of startstuff which fell to London many centuries ago. The starstuff is hidden in an underground vault which has only one key: the Sword of Mercy, a legendary weapon kept with the Crown Jewels. Molly is determined to help, but when she suddenly goes missing, it is up to her eleven-year-old daughter, Wendy, to keep the starstuff out of the Others' clutches. She has heard her mother's stories of a flying boy named Peter Pan, and he may be her only hope in saving the world from a shadowy doom

My Review: Okay, I really enjoyed this series. Yes it is another "juvenile" series... But seriously. WAY fun. All about light and dark, good v. evil and PETER PAN. How can you go wrong? Seriously entertaining. And I clearly read the last 2 books fairly quickly. I did read the first two even more quickly... But I really liked the whole series. I'd give it a good solid 4 stars. Across the board. Oh, and the ending opens up really well to the original stories, which was really fun. :) LOVE!
