4-6Secrets of the Pied Piper series.
In this series-opener, the Pied Piper transports Max, nearly thirteen, and her brother, ten-year-old Carter, from modern-day Hamelin to the magical Summer Isle, where the stolen children of Hamelin circa 1284 have been living in endless youth. The siblings' quest to escape features thrilling encounters with both new and familiar fairy-tale faces. Cody's perceptive portrayal of Carter's mobility impairment is especially notable.
