It all begins a long time ago in a VERY boring town. Because the town's children lived very far away from the city where all the FUN things are, the kids would get into TROUBLE, driving their parents OUT OF THEIR MINDS. Then one day a magical, mysterious host appears from beyond the stars, his name is FERNIE MERTBERT, and he promises the kids endless entertainment and a NEW family in his fantastical restaurant. Problem is, Fernie thinks a family means turning kids in GREEN SLIME and making them a part of his spaceship. Will Fernie ever find the TRUE meaning of family togetherness? In this new retelling of the classic Pied Piper tale, FERNIE MERTBERT promises a fun and spooky adventure for the whole family!

The book is recommended for children ages 5-8 and families of all ages. The book contains scary adventures.
