This book is a new release for October, and I think it would be best for more advanced third graders up to fifth graders. I was lucky to get a chance to read an advanced copy, and I could not put it down. Max and her brother Carter are in Hamelin with their father while he researches a new book. The brother and sister are sucked into the world of the Piped Piper and the children he led away with his magical flute so many years ago. It is a mix of modern, old world, and fantasy as they explore how to leave the Summer Isle where they are all being held prisoners.
I thought this book was a great mixture of fantasy and adventure, and it had some interesting characters and a twist at the end that will bring you back for book 2!
