On the mysterious Summer Isle, siblings Max and Carter discovered the magical land where the villainous Pied Piper led the children of Hamelin centuries ago. They were trapped outside of time in a never-ending clash against a vicious rat army. After a desperate battle with a cruel soul-stealing magician, Max and Carter found themselves separated: Max with their newfound allies (human and trollson alike), Carter with . . . the Piper.
Now Max is determined to reunite with her lost brother, restore her parents’ stolen souls, and escape the Summer Isle once and for all. But the wicked Grannie Yaga doesn’t intend for the siblings to leave without a fight.
But what role will the Piper play when all is said and done—and can he redeem himself from his own dark choices when his secrets are finally revealed?
Praise for The Peddler’s Road:
“The Peddler’s Road begins as a creepy fairy tale–mystery and then explodes into a wild fantasy adventure. . . . Cody has begun what promises to be an epic trilogy.” —Adam Gidwitz, New York Times bestselling author of A Tale Dark and Grimm and The Inquisitor’s Tale
“Prepare to be enchanted. Like the Pied Piper of Hamelin, Cody spins a wildly inventive, deeply heartfelt tale that whisks you off to a magical land where fairy tales live and breathe—and frequently try to kill you. From the first page, I was a goner.” —John Stephens, New York Times bestselling author of The Emerald Atlas

Thirteen-year-old Max and her brother, Carter, are trapped on the enchanted Summer Isle with the misdirected Pied Piper, the evil Grannie Yaga, and the lost children of Hamelin.The siblings are separated and fighting their own battles. Carter, whom everyone believes to be the prophesied last son of Hamelin, practices magic with the erratic and unstable Piper. Meanwhile, Max has enlisted the help of some of the inhabitants of New Hamelin to fight ogres, escape witchcraft, and reunite with her brother. But magical creatures and evil witches are only part of the problem. The Summer Isle is changing--and not for the better. If Max and Carter are to escape the island, thwart Grannie Yaga's plans, rescue the children of Hamelin, and restore their parents' souls, they will need their friends' help: human, trollson, spirit, and elfling alike. Fans of the series will enjoy the fast-paced, magic-filled conclusion to the trilogy, while readers unfamiliar with the siblings' adventures will be grateful for the abundance of summary offered in the early chapters. The clever retelling of a familiar tale neatly blends modern preteen angst with plenty of high-stakes magical adventuring. Diversity is found mostly among the nonhumans; Max and Carter are white. Trolls and ogres and emo preteens. Oh my. (Adventure. 10-13)COPYRIGHT(2017) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Max and her friends are back in the Summer Isle, searching for her younger brother Carter, who has teamed up with their former enemy, the Piper, to learn magic. Can they unite to defeat the evil Grannie Yaga? Cody treats Carter's mobility impairment with nuance and partially subverts the unfortunate "magical cure" from book two, bringing the trilogy to a pleasing conclusion.(Copyright 2018 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston.
