4-6Illmoor Chronicles series.
Illustrated by
Bob Lea.
When ancient dark magic possesses Diek, his flute enchants animals; meanwhile, Duke Modeset fails to suppress a rat plague in the city. Rats, pipers--you know what comes next. The lighthearted tone and outsized and colorful characters might just hit the sweet spot of clever preadolescent humor.
