A review by popestig
Pay the Piper by Jane Yolen, Adam Stemple

2.0

Not a bad idea for a YA, but the execution is not great. Characters are introduced and more or less dropped, plot resolved too easily and too quickly, characters behaving oddly (parents) and we know what's going to happen. It's not a horrible book, but read next to the other winners of the Locus Young Adult award, it doesn't quite measure up.
