Review of 'Pay the piper' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Good consistent story with historical connections; the idea of a modern day pied piper ala Ian Anderson makes for a fun read. The wording was a little rough in places, but nothing an edit pass or a little rewording wouldn't fix. Fairly short chapters, made for good bedtime chapter book reading.

Read with daughter, 12, who received the added opportunity to look up a few archaic and obscure words.
