Reviews
A prequel to Peter Pan, explaining the pirates, magic, Tinkerbell, crocodile, and the other wonders of Neverland. Peter helps a girl named Molly rescue magical dust that falls from the stars from the clutches of greedy pirates. A romping adventure that doesn’t lose its fun even though we all know how it will turn out; the path is the fun. Sometimes it is a little too non-stop action. All the characters are well realized, from pirates to mermaids to native Mullusk people.
