#1 international bestselling author of Thirteen Reasons Why Jay Asher and co-author Jessica Freeburg brilliantly reimagine the classic Pied Piper legend as a powerful graphic novel about loneliness, love, and vengeance. Fans of Through the Woods by Emily Carroll will devour this eerie, atmospheric retelling. “A moving graphic novel about isolation, love, and retribution, this dark version of a familiar tale will remain with readers long after the last page is turned.”—School Library Journal Long ago, in a small village in the middle of a deep, dark forest, there lived a lonely, deaf girl named Maggie. Shunned by her village because of her disability, her only comfort comes from her vivid imagination. Maggie has a gift for inventing stories and dreams of one day finding her fairy-tale love. When Maggie meets the mysterious Piper, it seems that all her wishes are coming true. Spellbound, Maggie falls hard for him and plunges headfirst into his magical world. But as she grows closer to the Piper, Maggie discovers that he has a dark side. The boy of Maggie’s dreams might just turn out to be her worst nightmare… With striking illustrations from Eisner-nominated artist Jeff Stokely, mixed with Jessica Freeburg''s work on historic and legendary horrors, Piper is an exciting new departure for Jay Asher that deftly touches on the same themes of truth, guilt, and redemption that made Thirteen Reasons Why a beloved bestseller.

Por que colocar meu coração em algo que o destino simplesmente vai separar na manhã de Natal? Sierra e sua família vivem duas vidas: uma no Oregon e outra na Califórnia, durante as festas de fim de ano. Eles são donos de uma fazenda de árvores de Natal, mas este pode ser o último ano de Sierra na Califórnia com Heather, uma de suas melhores amigas. As coisas parecem sair de controle quando Caleb, dono de um belo sorriso acompanhado de uma covinha, surge em busca de uma árvore. O que deveria ser apenas um "romance de Natal", torna-se algo muito mais profundo. Apesar de sua aparência, os boatos que rondam Caleb sobre seu passado não são tão belos – e muito menos confiáveis –, fazendo com que Sierra precise tomar decisões sobre em quem ela deve confiar e até mesmo confrontar seus pais. Mesmo com tudo conspirando para que as luzes do último Natal de Sierra na Califórnia se apaguem, Caleb e ela aprenderão como contornar todas as situações.

Ma non preoccupatevi, se avete ricevuto questo bel pacco regalo, prima o poi il vostro nome salterà fuori... Ve lo prometto."
