Gold Star Award Winner!

After discovering the key to Rondo, Leo and Mimi must continue to visit the magical land painted on the outside of the music box. If they don't, the Blue Queen will learn they tricked her.

Though they have to return, they're determined not to become involved in the goings on of Rondo. Unfortunately, they're drawn into a quest that risks not only their lives, but also the entire fate of the land.

The Wizard Bing has vanished and his assistant, Simon, is accused of murdering him. Simon's mother pleads for help. Leo, Mimi, and their quest companions set out to solve the mystery, and end up in terrible danger when they suspect the Ancient One of taking Bing.

I loved THE WIZARD OF RONDO! This is a great series for young and old alike. Rodda's imagination knows no limits. I can't wait to read more and hope the next book in the series isn't long in coming!

Emily Rodda's The Wizard of Rondo tells of Leo Zifkak, who is afraid of a music box's alluring world that calls to him only when its key is wound four times. Leo and his cousin's visit to Rondo nearly killed them - now they have to go back to save their friends and face a new evil after their very souls in this compelling thriller, perfect for grades 6-8.

I am disappointed. The first book was amazing; I loved it. This one was freaky and retarded, in my opinion. It felt like nothing really happened.

I say this is a failure but for some reason I like it.
