The Key to Rondo (Rondo #1)
There are three rules to the old painted, music box: Wind the box three times only. Never shut the box when the music is playing. Never move the box before the music stops.
Leo wouldn't dream of breaking these rules, but does his stubborn cousin Mimi listen? She winds the box four times -- and suddenly the paintings on its side come to life and a powerful witch is released. Now its up to Leo and Mimi to stop the witch, if only they can find the key to the music box -- and the magical world it controls.
I really enjoyed this book. I did not find it as predictable as many fantasy books for children, so the plot kept me wondering what might happen next and who the good guys really were. I also enjoyed the way that fairy tales were woven into the story, not in heavy-handed way, but just enough to have the occasional start of recognition. The development of the main characters, Mimi and Leo, and the friendship between them, was also really well done and added another dimension of realism and
This book absolutely captivated my mind when I was a child. I adored the story, the world, the magic, the characters. I remember finding out that there was a sequel and practically dying of excitement. It was read and reread so many times, and is one of my all-time favourite books of my childhood.

I think that this book was really good, and I would recommend it to someone looking for a good fantasy novel. One think that I think the author did very well was throughout the story, was revealing secrets about the characters that you would have never thought of. I also liked the incorporation of a tiny world, as that is something that I think is something I can easily imagine.I really enjoyed this book.
