Important! Turn the key three times only. Never turn the key while the music is playing. Never pick up the box while the music is playing. Never close the lid until the music has stopped.

The old music box has its rules, carefully handed down through the generations in Leo’s family. And the music box has an astounding secret hidden beneath its gleaming black lid and the painted scenes of villages, mysterious forests, a castle on a hill, and a queen in along blue gown that decorate its sides.

Those who had owned it before Leo understood its powers well, and placed strict limits on its use. But now it is Leo’s music box, and although he respects the rules, his least favourite cousin Mimi Langlander does not. When the rules are broken, Leo's ordered life is changed forever as he and Mimi face a ruthless enemy and plunge together into a thrilling quest in the fantastic world of Rondo.
