In this riveting andadventure-packed follow-up to Peter and the Starcatchers, we discover Peter leaving the relative safety of MolluskIsland-along with his trusted companion Tinker Bell-for the cold, damp streetsof London. On a difficult journey across the sea, he and Tink discover the darkand deadly, slithering part-man/part-creature Lord Ombra. It seems that thedreaded Ombra has a variety of mysterious powers including the ability to makeshadows disappear. When Peter reaches London, he sets out to find theindomitable Molly. Together they must combat Ombra's terrible forces to bothprotect the Starcatchers and the treasured starstuff and most importantly torescue Molly's mother from the clutches of evil. Dave Barry and Ridley Pearsonhave done it again-written a compulsively readable, impossible-to-put-down talethat will delight readers of all ages.

 Peter goes to London September 19, 2008
This is the second book about Peter and what happened to him before he met Wendy. It was very enjoyable, very well-written, and followed very much in the style and story type of the first book. If you liked the first one, you'll like this one.
A strange group of pirates lands on Mollusk island looking for the chest of starstuff that Peter and Molly had brought there. Of course, we know the starstuff has been returned to London. The pirates quickly find out and head off to London. Peter is concerned about one of the pirate crew Lord Ombra who appears to take over people through their shadows. He decides to accompany the pirates back to London in an effort to warn Molly about their intentions. But things aren't always that simple.
This was a fast-paced book, it was very well-written and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I look forward to reading the third and final book of the series. I was a little disappointed that the rest of the Lost Boys played such a small role in this book; but I guess these books are about Peter after all. This book also has a somewhat open ending that will hopefully be resolved in the third book.

 Peter and The Shadow Thieves... September 12, 2008
I received the book in a timely manner. I wanted to get it for my little brother who couldn't find the 2nd one at any of the local book stores. It came in quickly and he is enjoying reading it. He was so excited.
As Good As The First August 26, 2008
Another absolutely charming and action packed installment of the Peter series. As an adult, much of the fun I derive from these books are the clever way the characters you're familiar with come into being, as well as in this book the cameo appearance by a certain author who will figure heavily in Peter's future. Picking up almost where the last book left off, Peter must race to London to warn Molly of an evil figure named Lord Ombra who snatchers people's shadows rendering them near lifeless automatons, in an effort to reclaim the starstuff from Molly's father. Looking forward to the next.
Great Boook July 7, 2008
I bought this book for my son who is going into 6th grade for summer reading. It's not easy to get him to read in the summer. He loved it and couldn't put it down. Now he's reading the sequel.
Entire Series is EXCELLENT! May 15, 2008
If you like the notion of Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, etc. this series is really excellent. I don't use the word WONDERFUL much, but they're a great read. They really do carry on the story of Peter and his friends in a believable and fun way. Really AWESOME and you won't be disappointed. The entire series is highly recommended - all three books so far.
