I have mixed feelings on this book. I wonder if I would have liked it better if I hadn't read the previous Peter and the Starcatchers books. This book is set up as a treasure hunt, versus the previous books of keeping the star stuff protected. It does have its suspenseful moments. However, in comparison to the rest of the series, it is very different. I suspect that it was ghost written by a completely different author. It doesn't reflect the nature of the recurring characters as set up in the previous books at all, not to mention we don't even see these characters until the last quarter of the book. The last third of the book feels like a giant ad for Disney World. If you've read the first four Peter and the Starcatchers books, I would skip this one. On the other hand, I suspect my eight-year-old son will really enjoy it.Update: After just having read the first "Kingdom Keeper's" book by Ridley Pearson, I am pretty sure that he authored this last "Peter and the Starcatchers" by himself, thus explaining the completely different tone of the book from the first four.
This book was so good and I can only hope that they will make another due to the ending on this where *SPOILER* Peter comes back and feels Ombra growing stronger. They can't just leave a series off like that. I also would like to know what happened to Peter and Wendy because at the end of Peter and the Sword of Mercy, Wendy and her brothers heard a tapping on the window which I took to be Peter coming back, but then again we may not know:( But all in all this book was fantastic and took a whole new perspective on his books:)
the book was amazing, so was the series. i am totally going to read them again.
