Piper and the Lost Children Victoria Mott

According to legend, when the Pied Piper was cheated by the villagers of Hamelin, he decided to exact payment in a way they least expected-he played his flute and enchanted their children away from their homes. He brought them inside a mountain, and the children were never seen again. So, what happened to them once they entered the mountain? Shelley finds out when she is caught up in one of Piper's enchantments and becomes trapped inside the mountain with dozens of other children. In this timeless world Shelley discovers that many of these children have been there for centuries. They play and fight and try to avoid the monster Grendel, who terrorizes them at night. Shelley soon learns that as long as she follows the Piper's four simple rules, she might survive. When she discovers that she may never return to her world, she becomes determined to find a way out of the mountain. Unfortunately for Shelley, forces more daunting than mountain walls and monsters hold her captive.
