The Secrets of the Pied Piper 1: The Peddler's Road

Drawn from the Pied Piper tale, this exciting new trilogy by the author of Powerless is brimming with adventure, mystery, and rats!   It is said that in the thirteenth century, in a village called Hamelin, a piper lured all of the children away with his magical flute, and none of them were ever seen again.   Today tough, pink-haired Max and her little brother, Carter, are stuck in modern-day Hamelin with their father . . . until they are also led away by the Piper to a place called the Summer Isle. There they meet the original stolen children, who havent aged a day and who have formed their own village, vigilantly guarded from the many nightmarish beings that roam the land.             No one knows why the Piper stole them, but Max and Carters appearance may be the key to returning the lost children of Hamelin—and to going home themselves.
