I can reread it several times in a year and still not tire of it. ( ) What happened after the Pied Piper lured the children away? In this book, Bill Richardson tells the story of Penelope. On her 11th birthday, she suddenly loses her hearing, which saves her from the Piper's magic. Now, she is on a quest to rescue her sister and the other children. Bill Richardson displays amazing creativity in describing Penelope's adventure as a child, and adds depth by interweaving her story as an old woman -- so old that her contemporaries have died, and she is once again left behind. Hmmm, can't quite decide on this book. I liked the story, and the idea of what happened after the rats were gone, but I felt the story moved really slowly. Perhaps it's because I'm generally not a fan of these types of fantasy books?? I did, though, like how the author moved back and forth between old and young Penelope. It was hard to track at first, but it did provide a solid frame for the book, so that by the end you had the conclusion of both storylines. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

After Hamelin picks up the story where the Browning poem and other tellings of The Pied Piper of Hamelin leave off. Told with a sense of adventure and humor, the author uses inventive wordplay and uninhibited imagination to spin a narrative tale through strange lands inhabited by characters both good and evil. Penelope is now 101 years old, but as a child she was struck deaf on her eleventh birthday, the day the Pied Piper stole the town’s children. Spared that fate, she accepts the quest to find the evil piper and bring the stolen children back. She tracks them through dangerous terrain, into the belly of a mountain, to a lost city. Before their adventure is over, Penelope and her companions use their wits and talents to rescue the missing children—standing against human, animal, and supernatural forces in order to triumph.
