What is Peter and the Starcatchers about?
Peter is an orphan with no family and little hope until he is sent aboard the ship Never Land with a group of boys. On the voyage, he meets Molly, a brave girl guarding a mysterious chest filled with starstuff, a magical substance with extraordinary powers. When the ruthless pirate Black Stache learns about the treasure, Peter and Molly must outwit him and survive shipwrecks, storms, dangerous creatures and island dangers before the starstuff falls into the wrong hands.
