"A memorable portrait of first love, surviving grief, and the messy contradictions and fierce bonds that hold friends and family together." -- Booklist
Printz Award-winning author Melina Marchetta reopens the story of the group of friends from her acclaimed novel Saving Francesca -- but five years have passed, and now it's Thomas Mackee who needs saving.

An unflinching look at family, forgiveness, and the fierce inner workings of love and friendship, The Piper's Son redefines what it means to go home again."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Review
A memorable portrait of first love, surviving grief, and the messy contradictions and fierce bonds that hold friends and family together
--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
--Publisher's Weekly (starred review) Tom's confusion and regret at dealing with a burgeoning adulthood that's a pale, twisted shadow of his hopes are depicted with respect and realism, and the slowly unfolding picture of his past adds understanding without entirely getting him off the hook for his own misdeeds.
--Bulletin of the Center of Children's Books Marchetta uses smart dialogue, email messages, and a bit of humor to slowly draw readers into the complicated social dynamics. It's a joy to watch Tom reconnect with his friends, his music, his family, and Tara, the girl whose heart he broke
--School Library Journal The family dynamics are realistic, and the sincerity of the ache and joy of the characters as they come together will draw older teens to them rather than just the fictional plot.
--Foreword
