Escape from the Carnivale: A Never Land Book
Ridley Pearson, Dave Barry
Disney Editions, 2006
Good Short Story Involving the Minor Characters of the Original Barry/Pearson Prequel Masterpieces!
Although this short story does not contain either of the two great main characters Peter and Molly from the masterpieces Peter and the Starcatchers or the sequel to that prequel Peter and the Shadow Thieves and its length is only a fifth at most of either of those two ...

Steel Trapp: The Challenge
Ridley Pearson
Disney Editions, 2008
Great Book
I am 13 1/2 and read this - the latest by Ridley Pearson. He is probably my favorite author. His books are not for little kids and not for adults, although my mom enjoys reading all of his, even my books. I think this is a super book for all kids, ages 10+ to read! ...

Excellent Read
I throughly enjoyed reading The Kingdom Keepers. As a kid, I spent many days exploring the Magic Kingdom and dreaming of the adventures that might have been. I will recommend this book to all my friends and family and their kids. As far as the strength of the story, ...

Peter and the Shadow Thieves
Dave Barry, Ridley Pearson
Disney Editions, 2006
Peter and the Shadow Thieves
Fabulous book! My kids and I liked it even better than the first one in this series (Peter and the Star Catchers), which we also loved! These books are prequels to the original Peter Pan and are very well written. It has lots of very short chapters, which makes it ...

Peter and the Starcatchers
Dave Barry, Ridley Pearson, 2004
Fun series; I always wanted to know what happened to make Peter the way he is!
What happened before Peter Pan met Wendy? That's what Berry and Pearson try to address in this book. And it's a lot of fun to read about. This book is the first in a trilogy about the orphan Peter and the Starcatchers.

Chain of Evidence
Ridley Pearson
Hyperion, 1997
Good Book, gladly recommended.
I didn't like the prologue of this book.When I had first started reading it reminded me of a Jerry Springer show. So I dropped it to read something more interesting.
Two months later, when I was consumed by boredom, almost to the brink of insanity. I picked the book ...

Hard Fall
Ridley Pearson
Hyperion, 2001
Almost a five
I wish Amazon would change their grading system to a 10 point scaled for better gradation. HARD FALL was a great read, a good thriller with wonderful human interest stories. It was not the interplay between action and people which was almost seamless or that Daggett ...

Cut and Run
Ridley Pearson
Hyperion, 2006
Fast Paced Storyline
Cut and Run although certainly not the most realistic book in the world is a very enjoyable fast paced read. The action which starts in the prologue six years earlier keeps up for the duration of the novel. Whilst it is a little bit predictable how the book will end ...
