In this riveting and adventure-packed follow-up to the award-winning New York Times bestseller Peter and the Starcatchers, Peter leaves the relative safety of Mollusk Island - along with his trusted companion, Tinker Bell - for the cold, damp, dangerous streets of London. On a difficult journey across the sea, he and Tink discover the dark and deadly slithering part-man/part-creature Lord Ombra, who is intent on recovering the missing starstuff - celestial dust that contains unimagined powers. In London, Peter attempts to track down the indomitable Molly, hoping that together they can combat Ombra's determined forces. But London is not Mollusk Island; Peter is not the boy he used to be; and Lord Ombra - the Shadow Master - is unlike anything Peter, or the world, has ever seen.
Jim Dale has done it again. With impressive verbal dexterity, he creates a multitude of characters, each with a voice that perfectly matches one's image of the character--from the menacing villains to the courageous voices of young Peter, Molly, and George. Dale brings us fully into the emotional lives of the characters, portraying the jealousy that rises and falls between the children, the hatred of Hook and Slank, the sadness that Peter feels as he realizes that he's growing further from Molly, and the mercurial nature of Tink. Dale deftly weaves the three story lines together, building the tension, then letting it ease out, only to build it again as he changes tempo, tone, and pace to create a riveting story. W.L.S.
