The Bridge to Neverland

The Bridge to Neverland

Reviewed by Logan W.

This book is an okay book, with some down sides to it. The Bridge to Never Land provides some humor but not that much. It is good for readers who like fantasy. To me, the book was not that interesting.

Sarah and Aidan Cooper find a mysterious document that doesn’t make sense.  Soon they figure out that it is referring to the Starcatchers book series, which is a fictional series about Peter Pan written by these same authors. The document they found is giving them clues on where to go to find the bridge to Neverland.

The children do not know that Ombra, an evil creature, is coming after them.  Ombra is crazy for their newest possession, starstuff, and will do anything to get it. The only way to secure the starstuff is to hide it in Neverland.  Once they figure that out, the kids run away to complete their mission: to go to Neverland. But this task will not be easy with Ombra’s shadow hunters and ravens pursuing them.

What I didn’t like about the story is how the children where abusive to each other, calling each other names. I also felt like it was too much like a detective book and not a fantasy. The book is definitely for grades 4th-6th.
