BLURB: For her eighth birthday, Nola receives a marvelous present: her late mother Annah’s music box. It has the most enchanting melody, and inside the globe… is that a little girl waving? And calling for help?! Before she knows it, Nola has shrunk down size, slipped through the keyhole, and entered the world of Pandorient, where even the most ordinary-looking citizens can have extraordinary powers—and where danger could lurk down every hallway. Nola must help her new friends save their mother from a mysterious malady—all the while making surprising discoveries about Annah’s past, and—maybe—her own future…

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

El dibujo me recuerda singularmente a los del dibujante Oskar en Mampato. Sobre todo cuando dibujo a la madre de los niños. Es claro y con personajes fantasticos, y da indicios de cosas más oscuras con la policia, y con los constantes llamados de atención de que Pandorien es un mundo peligroso sobre todo para alguien del mundo 'hexagonal'. No es una historia demasiado compleja, es para lectores jovenes , y como es introductorio cumple con dejar el gusto de querer saber más de este mundo y porque esta dentro de la caja y que cosas más aguardan allí.

Bonita fantasia, me gustaria seguir leyendo otra entrega.
