Peter and the Secret of
Rundoon
Peter and the
Starcatchers #3
by Dave Barry &
Ridley Pearson
Goodreads blurb: In this action-packed finale to the
Starcatchers series, Peter and Molly find themselves in the dangerous land of
Rundoon, ruled by an evil king who enjoys watching his snake consume those who
displease him. But that’s just the beginning of trouble for our heroes. Peter
and Molly once again find themselves pitted against the evil shadow-creature,
Lord Ombra, in a struggle to save themselves, not to mention the planet. It’s a
wild desert adventure, with rockets, carpets and camels all flying through the
air, zooming towards an unforgettable climax...
About the Authors:
Dave Barry is a humor columnist. For 25 years
he was a syndicated columnist whose work appeared in more than 500 newspapers
in the United States and abroad. In 1988 he won the Pulitzer Prize for
Commentary. Many people are still trying to figure out how this happened.
Dave has also written a total of 30 books, although virtually none of them contain useful information. Two of his books were used as the basis for the CBS TV sitcom "Dave's World," in which Harry Anderson played a much taller version of Dave.
Dave plays lead guitar in a literary rock band called the Rock Bottom Remainders, whose other members include Stephen King, Amy Tan, Ridley Pearson and Mitch Albom. They are not musically skilled, but they are extremely loud. Dave has also made many TV appearances, including one on the David Letterman show where he proved that it is possible to set fire to a pair of men's underpants with a Barbie doll.
In his spare time, Dave is a candidate for president of the United States. If elected, his highest priority will be to seek the death penalty for whoever is responsible for making Americans install low-flow toilets.
Dave lives in Miami, Florida, with his wife, Michelle, a sportswriter. He has a son, Rob, and a daughter, Sophie, neither of whom thinks he's funny.

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5
Unicorns - I loved it!!!
***Borrowed the audiobook CD’s from
the library
The
cover is definitely a magical adventure that grabs your attention and says read
me :)
I
really do love that Jim Dale has continued as the narrator :) I love when there is consistency, and my son
feels the same way. We listened to this
book to and from school. It makes our
ride enjoyable, and I get to share my book addiction with him.
This
adventure was just as epic as all the other Peter and the Starcatchers
books. This book links in even more of the
Peter Pan nuances and story traits that you know and love. Peter is an amazing boy with so much courage
especially when it comes to saving his friends.
I love that my son gets to hear these lessons as we listen to the books
in this series. Peter and his friends
are all present in this story, and then we meet some new friends that I was
excited when I heard the names. There is
so much action and stuff happening in this book. It kept both my son and my attention
throughout the whole thing. I can’t wait
to start the next book with my son :)
I
highly recommend this series to Peter Pan and Tinker Bell fans who want a new
take on old stories especially if you are an adventure loving boy or someone
who loves one :) The audio version is a
fantastic way to share the story together :)
See my review of Peter
and the Shadow Thieves (Book 2)!!!
Interested in reading???
