This is another very interesting world created by Emily Rodda. In this case the world is on the outside of a music box. Leo inherits the music box when his aunt dies. His cousin, Mimi inherits an old locket. Rondo lives in the scenes painted on the sides of the music box. Mimi doesn't always follow the rules, and especially those of the music box. She winds it too many times, and sets the world of Rondo into motion. A wicked queen comes and grabs her dog before going back to her world. Mimi is determined to follow and rescue her dog. This is a new world to our heroes, one which they must discover for themselves. At every turn they are challenged with issues of trust—who should they trust? Who works for the evil queen and who doesn’t? Who are their allies? They meet a faithful pig who befriends them and comes along. They also upon a "hidey" hole which they find very useful. Still, because they find it hard to trust others, they keep getting into problems.
