This story is part of Reading Champion, a series carefully linked to book bands to encourage independent reading skills, developed with Dr Sue Bodman and Glen Franklin of UCL Institute of Education (IOE)\r\n\r\nWhen the Pied Piper returns to Hamlelin, the children are delighted. Their parents have gone safety-mad and banned all sweets, cakes and ice cream too! When the Piper offers to help in return for some of the sweets, Ash, Freddie and Mala agree. But once the parents disappear the children refuse to pay the Piper, and the children soon find life without parents is not so easy...\r\n\r\nReading Champion offers independent reading books for children to practise and reinforce their developing reading skills.\r\n\r\nFantastic, original stories are accompanied by engaging artwork and a reading activity.
