Peter and the Shadow Thieves (Peter and the Starcatchers #2) by Dave Barry, Ridley Pearson, Greg Call (Illustrations)

This has been my nightly read-aloud to the kids, and both of them looked forward to the nightly chapter or two. It’s a good solid action/fantasy, with a nice take on the Peter Pan origin story. We picked up the next three books, so we should be enmeshed in this world for a couple years.

It will be interesting to see how long my 11 year old sticks with the nightly reading. My guess is he would be fine with just reading to himself at night, but it’s like when someone is watching a good tv show in a room you walk through… it’s hard to keep walking sometimes.
