Ridley also wrote three Chris Klick mysteries under the pseudonym of Wendell McCall. The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer: My Life at Rose Red was adapted as a film called The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer (2003) To describe how Peter Pan met Captain Hook, Ridley teamed up with his long-time friend, humorist Dave Barry, to co-author Peter and the Starcatchers (2004), a prequel to Peter Pan; it is published in the US by Disney and by Walker Books in the UK. The novel was adapted as a play, Peter and the Starcatcher, written by Rick Elice, which premiered on Broadway at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre in early 2012, and earned the most Tony nominations of any play in history— nine. The play received five Tony awards at the ceremony on June 10, 2012. The play went on a national tour in 2013-14. Pearson and Barry have produced three additional prequels – Peter and the Shadow Thieves (2006), Peter and the Secret of Rundoon (2007), and Peter and the Sword of Mercy (2009). Another Peter-related book published by the duo is Bridge to Neverland (2011). Also for Disney, Pearson has written a series of novels set inside Disney theme parks, called The Kingdom Keepers, in which five teenagers battle the Overtakers—the evil Disney villains—to keep the parks safe. Pearson has also written Steel Trapp: The Challenge (2008) and Steel Trapp: The Academy (2010). Also with Dave Barry, Ridley Pearson has written Science Fair (2008) and three Never Land books: Escape from the Carnivale (2006), Cave of the Dark Wind (2007), and Blood Tide (2008). Personal life Pearson was raised in Riverside, Connecticut, along with his two siblings. He was educated at the University of Kansas and Brown University. He lived in Shanghai, China from 2008 to 2009. He currently lives in St. Louis, Missouri, with his wife and two daughters. Pearson often incorporates his children as characters into his children's novels. He also has played bass guitar and sung for the Rock Bottom Remainders, a band of published authors that disbanded in June 2012. Bibliography Suspense Novels Standalone Novels Never Look Back.
