While exploring her new home, lonely pre-teen Missandra finds a secret stairway that leads to a “magic room.” There she meets two very special friends who, with the help of a sorcerer and a music box, lead her into exciting adventures and other worlds. There, Missandra finds friendship, identity, and strength of character. It’s a thrill-a-minute high fantasy romp.
