On a difficult journey across the sea, he and Tink discover the dark and deadly, slithering part-man/part-creature Lord Ombra. It seems that the dreaded Ombra has a variety of mysterious powers including the ability to make shadows disappear. When Peter reaches London, he sets out to find the indomitable Molly. Together they must combat Ombras terrible forces to both protect the Starcatchers and the treasured starstuff and most importantly to rescue Mollys mother from the clutches of evil. Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson have done it againwritten a compulsively readable, impossible-to-put-down tale that will delight readers of all ages. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - mom's reviewI adored this trilogy. As a Harry Potter FANATIC, I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. I have not found much that I liked as much as those, but this came close.

I wanted to get it for my little brother who couldn't find the 2nd one at any of the local book stores. It came in quickly and he is enjoying reading it. He was so excited. Rating: - As Good As The FirstAnother absolutely charming and action packed installment of the Peter series.

Picking up almost where the last book left off, Peter must race to London to warn Molly of an evil figure named Lord Ombra who snatchers people's shadows rendering them near lifeless automatons, ...
