Discussion Questions:

1. These authors took a well-known book and wrote about what happened before the events that took place in Peter Pan. What are some other books for which you’d like to know the “story before the story”?
2. One of the sailors befriends Peter and the other boys and helps them against the pirates. Why do you think he helped them when none of the other sailors would?
3. Black Stache is the main villain of this book, but is he the only one? If there are other evildoers in the book, what about their behavior would you describe as “villainous”?
4. Peter and Molly’s father talk about the good and bad parts about never getting any older. What do you think would be some positives and negatives? Would you want to stay the age you are at forever? Why or why not?
5. Do you think this book would make a good movie? If so, are there any parts you’d leave out? What actors would you cast as Peter, Molly and Black Stache?
6. Did reading this book make you want to read the original Peter Pan (whether or not you have already)? Why or why not?
7. The members of the Mollusk Clan don’t like outsiders. Why? What do you think of their treatment of uninvited guests?
