Adam McCune & Keith McCune, The Rats of Hamelin
Adam McCune & Keith McCune, The Rats of Hamelin: A Piper’s Tale. Moody Publishers, 2005.
The Rats of Hamelin blends history and fantasy to reshape the hazy legend of the pied piper. After six years as a piper’s apprentice, Hannes sets out on the mission that will make him a master in the guild. His orders seem simple enough: rid Hamelin of a plague of rats and use the reward money for a charitable cause. Simple indeed, until he discovers that the real rats of Hamelin aren’t the ones scurrying underfoot. Unsure who to count among his friends—the mayor’s beautiful daughter? a generous businessman? a precocious little girl?—Hannes struggles against deadly enemies and thoughtless allies. Every step he takes comes down to a deceptively simple choice: when to show mercy and when to bring justice.
