“The best part about this series is that it bridges the gap between junior high and young adult fantasy. These books have been perfect for my twelve-year-old, because she’s at an age where she wants to read all the fantasy she can get her hands on but isn’t quite ready for some of the more mature themes present in young adult fiction.”

“Hamelin Stoop offers all the best qualities of the young adult fantasy novel: a fast-paced narrative, diverse characters, and the organic unfolding of mysteries.
