When Peter learns that his friend Molly may be in danger from evil people seeking control of the fabled starstuff (a mysterious dust which grants amazing powers to the user), he leaves the relative safety of Mollusk Island and returns to the urban jungle of London. There, he and his tiny sidekick Tink risk everything to protect Molly and her father, while keeping the starstuff from the shadowy Lord Ombra. Barry and Pearson have once again conjured up a roller-coaster tale set in the early days of the boy who will become Pan, a thrilling adventure full of magic and mystery.
