The Key to Rondo
ReplyDeleteThe Key to Rondo, by Emily Rodda is about two cousins named Leo and Mimi. Mimi winds Leo’s detailed and enchanted music box six times releasing an evil sorceress, the Blue Queen and opening the world of Rondo, a secret world inside the unique music box. The Blue Queen steals Mimi’s dog, Mutt. The two cousins enter the mythical world to save Mutt. They discover its wonders and later get into trouble. Soon they don’t know who to trust. Leo and Mimi rescue Mutt from the dark, creepy castle and barely escape from the wicked Blue Queen. It turns out that the actual Key to Rondo was an ugly pendant containing the few hairs of the paintbrush that painted Rondo, which Mimi was wearing the whole time! I had a great time reading the Key to Rondo! It was exciting, suspenseful, and persuaded you to read on. I recommend this to all of those who enjoy reading adventurous, imaginative books!
