Piper by Jay Asher is a Pied Piper retelling! that I am excited fo I love Jay Asher’s books, and I have very high hopes for this one. I am interested in Piper’s secret dark side and the mystery that I’m sure will surround his character. This is also a graphic novel, which I don’t read too often, so this is a bit out of my comfort zone in terms of style. I can’t wait for this book to come out this fall, and I’m sure that I will be impressed.

I’ve never read a Pied Piper retelling and this sounds very interesting! I might check this out! 🙂
Right?! I am looking forward to something a bit different. 🙂
Oh my gosh. I’ve seriously ALWAYS wanted to read a Pied Piper retelling. I don’t know why I’m so obsessed with the Pied Piper story but ahhhh so excited for this book now. 😀
It is such an intriguing fairy tale and I think that it has so much potential for a retelling. 🙂
This is the first time I’m hearing of this one. I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy. Great choice this week.

I keep hearing people say YOU HAVE TO TRY GRAPHIC NOVELS. I’ve been told a million times to give them a try. It is WAY outside of my comfort zone, but if I were to consider trying one out, this one would be it, I think!
You know, I don’t think that I have read too many of them. They are definitely hit and miss. I have high hopes for this one, though. 🙂
