Inspired by the fairytale The Pied Piper, Avione Lee‘s children’s debut novel Pied brings readers on a musical adventure and is available today in the US with Simon & Schuster!
Rim Wickford is the type of obedient kid who never gets in trouble. But that changes one day when he plays a musical pipe and his school falls to the ground. With one note, the secret his uncle has kept him from is out, sweeping Rim into a colourful hidden world of Pipers who can turn melody into magic. Different from the other pipers and forced to hide his Pied identity in hopes to be accepted into the exclusive Piper Association, Rim must pass a series of magical, music trials. But what he is hiding just might be the very thing he needs to succeed.
Avione is a trained engineer and was part of the Madeleine Milburn Mentorship. She wrote Pied for kids to “embrace all aspects of their heritage and not feel the need to hide any part because everything that makes you, you, is very cool.”
