Lady Sakura Posted September 30, 2004 Posted September 30, 2004 Peter and the Starcatchers is a new book written by Dave Berry and Ridly Pearson. It's a book brought on by a question Ridly's daughter had, "How did Peter Pan become Peter Pan?" The two journalists came together and, after many emails and long nights, came up with this book. A funny quote: "AVAST THE MAIN MIZON!" It's actually recomended for kids 10 and up, but there's quite a few bits o' adult humor... I've only read about half of it, and I'm having trouble not laughing out loud on the bus... Or at home... Or in class... *Sakura's edit* Here's the link to the official site: Yarr!
Captain Tito Posted September 30, 2004 Posted September 30, 2004 Aye m'lass I have quite a curiosity 'bout that book, especially since Dave Barry be a co-author.

Lady Sakura Posted October 1, 2004 Author Posted October 1, 2004 Me thinks you could get it cheaper by doing a raid at Costco... That is, if that is the only thing you be gettin'...
Capt. Z Posted October 1, 2004 Posted October 1, 2004 COSCO? dont ye needs a special card er memba ship fer that
Lady Sakura Posted October 1, 2004 Author Posted October 1, 2004 Yea... You do... Or, you can get someone you know who has a membership there to get it for you. Just pay them 11 bucks and viola!
Red Maria Posted October 1, 2004 Posted October 1, 2004 You go in fill out an application gives them I think $50.00 for the first year ($45.00 therafter) and you gets a card. I'm single and I still find uses for that card. They have the best gas prices around and when I buy breakfast sausage for PRP encampments I get it there. Also good beer prices. It does come in handy. :)
Capt Grey Posted October 2, 2004 Posted October 2, 2004 The authors were in Pasadena, CA signing copies of the book a couple of weeks ago. Some friends of mine went and bought them. Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie. Rumors of my death are entirely premature.
Lady Sakura Posted October 2, 2004 Author Posted October 2, 2004 I wanted to go to the signing in Seattle, but alas, my lack of transport and funds kinda sunk that plan....
FannyFae Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 Aye, I got that book at Sam's Club last month and am reading it now. It may be a kid's book, but I am really enjoying it. My son is 16 and is wanting to read it too, but I think he is going to have to sign a paper saying he will replace it if anything happens to it!
Redd Oktober Posted October 8, 2004 Posted October 8, 2004 I've read the book...and I love Dave Barry...but I've said this before on Hook/Pan related topics before...and I'll say it again... DEATH TER PETER PAN!! Sorry...me non-pirate name be Peter too...and e'en when I were a little urchin, I hated the leaf wearin' cannibal. But that's just me. YARRR! The Oktober be silent now! Just call me "REDD!"
Capt. Z Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 while I just gots e book yesterdey, yea, peter was kinda uncool at parts
Redd Oktober Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 At parts? At least Hook admits he's a scoundrel...Pan kidnaps innocent children and yanks them off to Neverland where they face terrible perils all for HIS enjoyment (that, plus the leaf-wearin' kid has got some serious abandonment issues...I've never met such a mama's boy in all my life...I mean...Wendy's supposedly his squeeze, and he's got a cluster of "Lord of the Flies" rejects going along with him to call her "mother"?) Good lord! Long live Captain Jas. Hook! Sorry...I'm off my soapbox now... :-) YARRR! The Oktober be silent now! Just call me "REDD!"
Capt. Z Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 well in parts meaning he can fly an lot the good ole cap'ns stuff and has a really cool treefort... but other than that, I agree wif ya
