BOOK REVIEW:
Do you remember Peter Pan, the magical boy who never grew old and flew around Never Land with his fairy Tinker Bell? Did you ever wonder how Peter got to Never Land, or how Tinker Bell was created, if you did then you need to get reading! In Peter and the Starcatchers, Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson go back to when Peter was an orphan boy living in St. Norbert’s home for Wayward Boys in England.
After living in St. Norbert’s for seven years, Peter is dragged out of St. Norbert’s in the early morning along with Prentiss, James, Tubby Ted and Thomas. They are on their way to a ship called Never Land, is what they are told by Grempkin, the mean grammar teacher and second in command at St. Norbert’s. When the boys are loaded on to the ship, Slank, the second in command and first officer on the Never Land tells them that they are going to become servants for King Zarboff the Third in Rundoon, who when isn’t pleased with a servant’s work will feed them to his pet snake. The five boys are then put into the basement of the ship with the rats, and when Peter escapes he runs into Molly, the ambassador’s daughter who he talked to when they first boarded before Slank took them away.
When Peter and Molly become good friends and Molly tells Peter a secret about herself and her father that isn’t supposed to be told, Peter sees the world in a new magical way. Soon Peter is flying, talking to dolphins and trying to escape an evil pirate. To find out what happens to Peter and Molly, pick up the national best seller, Peter and the Starcatchers and get reading! Once you finish that, read the sequel to the prequel, Peter and the Shadow Thieves.

Joke: AT THE DOCTOR’S OFFICE
A gorgeous young redhead goes into the doctor’s
office and said that her body hurt wherever she touched it.
“Impossible!” says the doctor. “Show me.”
The redhead took her finger, pushed on her left
shoulder and screamed, then
she pushed her elbow and screamed even more. She
pushed her knee and screamed;
likewise she pushed her ankle and screamed.
Everywhere she touched made her scream.
The doctor said, “You’re not really a redhead, are you?
“Well, no” she said, “I’m actually a blonde.”
“I thought so,” the doctor said. “Your finger is broken.”
