Hamelin Stoop: The Lost Princess and the Jewel of Periluna (Book 2) by Robert B Sloan

Hamelin really wants to find his parents but his guides on his quest tell him he has other things he has to do that take more priority than that.  He listens and follows their guidance.  He meets a young man looking for a jewel, a princess that is looking for her sister, and he gets a pair of gloves that give him strength and more.  Off they go...

12 Gates Publishing sent me a copy of this book to read for review (thank you).  It has been published so you can buy a copy now.

This is a middle grade adventure that contains bits of magic and interesting beasts and plenty of danger.  This is the second book in the series and the pace picks up here.

Hamelin needs his eagle friend to get where he needs to go and to give him hints on how to handle the next crisis.  Sometimes he's there and sometimes he's not.  Hamelin has his gloves, his male friend has shoes that help him walk faster and hold him secure on the ground, and the princess has a scarf that lets her see far away.  With those tools, they have a chance of saving the princess and the jewel.  The man who has her isn't willing to give her up, though.

There are clashes, attempts at murder and more but they persist and are rewarded.  The next story will probably cover the attempt for Hamelin to be rejoined with his parents.  However, the captor has learned he's alive and he has other plans for him...
