In this exquisitely illustrated fairy tale, the Pied Piper is transformed into a compassionate hero.
The story comes alive as we are transported back in time to medieval Hamelin and see through the eyes of 13-year-old Sofia Müller and discover what actually happened... On June 26th, 1284, a mysterious man walked into the sleepy village of Hamelin and changed it forever. The townsfolk called him a monster, but they hid a terrible secret they were ashamed to tell. In this retelling of the Pied Piper, the truth is finally revealed as to what actually happened on that fateful day and drove this musical minstrel to do the unthinkable. It wasn't out of vengeance or over a certain sum of gold. It was because of a crucially important promise that the people of this town failed to keep.
The first in a series of seven, Book 1 is just the beginning. Book 2 picks up where the classic tale ends, continuing the story of what happens to the children after they disappear into the cave and the incredible adventures they experience as they journey deep into Inner Earth.
