The Peter and the Starcatchers saga, written by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, is a series of fantasy novels; starting out as prequels to Sir J.M Barrie's Peter Pan, but gradually deviating from its plot. The series contains four books: Peter and the Starcatchers Peter and the Shadow Thieves Peter and the Secret of Rundoon Peter and the Sword of MercyThere are also three significantly shorter spinoff novels about The Lost Boys and Fighting Prawn's younger daughter: Escape from the Carnivale, Cave of the Dark Wind, and Blood Tide.

Burning the Ships | |
| Peter and the Starcatchers / int_1e6ca414 | comment |
Burning the Ships: In the first act of the first book, the pirate Black Stache dumps most of his water overboard so that the only way his men can avoid dying of thirst is by fully committing themselves to chasing and catching the ship Stache is after and taking its water. | |

Stealth Pun: In the third book, George and the orphans steal a ship, which later ends up flying after being inundated with starstuff. The name of the vessel is De Vliegen, which means "the flies" in Dutch. In other words, it's a flying Dutchman. | |

Hostage for MacGuffin | |
| Peter and the Starcatchers / int_42bc6d2b | comment |
Hostage for MacGuffin: In the first book, Slank takes Molly hostage and demands the trunk of starstuff in return. In the second book: Ombra and his crew capture Shining Pearl for the same reason. The Molluscs don't have the starstuff, though, so they end up using her to guarantee safe passage back to their ship. The Others kidnap Louise Astor and hold her ransom for the starstuff. In the fourth book: von Schaffen captures Tinker Bell and holds her hostage to swap with Peter. Shining Pearl is once again used as leverage to get the starstuff from Fighting Prawn. | |

Green Rocks | |
| Peter and the Starcatchers / int_57a91010 | comment |
Green Rocks: Starstuff can do just about anything. For starters, it can make things fly, change peoples' moods, heal wounds, extend life, and transform ordinary animals into mythological creatures. And it's hinted that it has other powers as well; Molly comments that the Greek gods were actually humans using starstuff, and it's hard to imagine their reputation came from long lives and flight alone. | |

Never Smile at a Crocodile | |

Never Smile at a Crocodile: The island that becomes Never Land is home to Mr. Grin, an enormous crocodile who was friendly until he developed a taste for human flesh as a result of being tormented by a group of English sailors; the native Mollusk tribe nearly has to kill him until they decide they can use him to dispose of future unwanted visitors. And naturally, he ends up eating Black Stache's severed hand. | |

Our Mermaids Are Different: They evolved from fish in the lagoon on the coast of what became Never Land, courtesy of exposure to starstuff, and it takes a while - when Slank and Little Richard first meet them, their teeth are more like sharks' teeth. By the time Peter meets one, her teeth are fully human. | |

Two-Part Trilogy | |
| Peter and the Starcatchers / int_8ed601a6 | comment |
Two-Part Trilogy: The first work can actually stand by itself, acting as an introduction with the major plot points (of that book) more or less resolved. Around Shadow Thieves, the series starts to blend together into a bigger story arc. However, it went back to a relative trilogy with Sword of Mercy which itself is a relative standalone story. | |

Take a Third Option | |
| Peter and the Starcatchers / int_950bbfa7 | comment |
Take a Third Option: Black Stache, torn between chasing after Astor and taking the trunk or calling his bluff and pursuing the Wasp, decides to take a third option: he tosses his British Navy prisoner overboard. Predictably, Astor turns around to rescue the drowning sailor, coming close enough to the Sea Devil for Black Stache to harpoon his dory. | |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Happens in the Back Story of Cave of The Dark Wind. A cursed treasure aboard a Spanish galleon makes everyone who looks at it except a cabin boy go blind. The men who spent less time looking at the treasure and get their sight back promptly flee in the two longboats, not wanting to risk being blinded again. Only one of the longboats makes it to land. | |

Men of Sherwood: In the first book, Captain Scott and the crew of the Wasp are brave, intelligent, and skilled in fighting the pirates. They probably could have inflicted serious damage if Scott hadn't surrendered early to avoid a massacre. Fighting Prawn and his Mollusk Tribe are stealthy, strong, cunning fighters who are only ever at a disadvantage due to superior numbers or I Have Your Wife hostage situations. Even when they're taken prisoner in The Secret of Rundoon, they launch an effective Slave Revolt. | |

Pet the Dog: At the beginning of the second book, Lord Ombra has his henchmen release their hostage (one of Fighting Prawn's daughters) once they've retreated to their boats. This is the only time in the series where a villain actually intends to keep their word to release a hostage once the heroes meet their demands. In Sword of Mercy, Cheeky O'Neal yells for his fellow henchmen to join him in sliding on a log to escape a lava flow rather than abandoning them. Cave of The Dark Wind. When Hook sends two men to steal a goat for him, he's so excited at the thought of something new in his diet that he promises to share the meat with them. Smee views this as an unprecedented act of generosity from Hook. In Blood Tide, after a mermaid saves Hook from drowning, he's touched by the gesture and responds appropriately. | |
