The Music Box 1. Welcome to Pandorient: Welcome to Pandorient | 
pick4 ⭐ This is an oddly beautiful graphic novel. It‘s about a little girl Nolla who has lost her mother. It‘s her eighth birthday and her dad assured her that it is one OK to celebrate and that her mother was looking forward to giving her a special gift. The special gift is an odd little music box. Later in the evening Nolla comes to learn that her music box is an inhabitant of a special world that she shrinks down explores.
LibrarianRyan There she meets another girl her age and her brother and their sick mother and it‘s up to Nola to help make her better and figure out what is poisoning her. Pandoriant is an odd little world the people are almost fairy or nymph like but there are monsters and Beings that are both good and evil or funny and grouchy. It‘s an entirely new world or Nolla has no idea what‘s going on. She‘s been told to be careful because this new world is dangerous but 1y
LibrarianRyan besides what‘s happening to her new friend‘s mom, she doesn‘t understand why it‘s dangerous. We don‘t get much beyond that in book number one, but it was really intriguing, and the art is beautiful. It‘s a style of art not normally found in most graphic novels. This book is translated from French, and it‘s very well done. So far there are a total of five books, and I plan on reading every one of them. 1y
