Description
Sixty years have passed, and the people of Hamelin have yet to heal from the loss of their children to the Pied Piper. Pieter has grown up in a town without joy, without hope, without music. Yet his heart is full of songs and tunes he cannot express. Â Â Â He often escapes to the side of Koppelberg Mountain, the very spot where the children disappeared, and there he can hear what he thinks no one else can-the notes of the Piper's song still floating on the air. But there is another who hears: Old Simon, who as a boy, was left behind. Pieter's musical gift creates a connection with the piper of legend, but will Pieter be able to control the magic of his music or will it control him?
