A teen novel based on the legends of the Pied Piper of Hamelin. In a contemporary setting, a young girl is excited to interview a touring folk-rock band for her school paper - but she accidentally uncovers more than she meant to - a plot leading straight to the courts of Faerie.
I felt like it was a little bit out-of-touch-with-kids-today. (How many highschool students you know are fanatic about old folk-rock bands?)
But strangley, I was reading this out at a cafe and the waiter was like, "Oh, I loved that book!"
