Peter and the Sword of Mercy by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson

Peter and the Sword of Mercy by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, juvenile fiction, 515 pages.
I love these books and my kids do too. This is the fourth in the Peter and the Starcatchers series, and it is as good as any of them. This one takes place twenty-three years after the third book. Molly and George and all of the original lost boys are all adults, and the Starcatchers have all but disappeared. All seems quiet; the starstuff doesn't seem to fall anymore and no one has heard of anything concerning the Others since the events at Rundoon.
As the King's coronation approaches though, people begin to disappear and Molly has to entrust her daughter, Wendy, with the family secrets and send her off to ask Peter to return to London and help save them all. A bit scarier than the previous books, I found myself editing the readings to prevent nightmares in the audience.
