(4) 4-6 Secrets of the Pied Piper series. Carter is still trapped in the Summer Isle with the Pied Piper; separated, big sister Max is desperate to return to Carter and the other Hamelin children. The growing cast has become unwieldy, and a magical-cure trope disrupts what began as a thoughtful depiction of Carter's mobility impairment. Nevertheless, this middle book has a clear thematic arc; each parallel narrative reaches a satisfying, dramatic resolution.
