Wild Magic
By Cat Weatherill
Book Description
A richly fantastical continuation of The Pied Piper of Hamelin
When the Pied Piper enchanted the children of Hamelin and led them away, Mari and her brother, Jakob, followed his song. Now they are trapped in a beautiful but cruel world inhabited by a horrid Beast. Finding a way to escape will require some wild magic, in this powerful story of a family torn apart by tragedy, and the magical adventure that heals them.
“Weatherill’s prose is warm and appealing.” ―Kirkus Reviews
“Classic fantasy themes like loyalty, transformation, and sacrifice are part of this interesting book.” –SLJ
“Weatherill’s brother and sister protagonists are inventive without ever coming off as too precocious. But the book’s greatest achievement is Finn; this irredeemable villain is fleshed out with such detail that readers will not be able to decide if he is good or evil.” – Booklist
