But time is short: Andrea and Igor’s mother, Mathilda, has fallen seriously ill. What’s wrong with her? Could she have been poisoned? Find out in the first volume of this enchanting graphic novel series that will leave fantasy fans spellbound.
My rating: ★★★★
Welcome to Pandorient is the first book of Music Box series, and here are the 5 reasons why you should read it:
1. Fun-magical Story
I like the basic concept of this book. About a world that you can find in a music box. I think children would love this kind of story.
2. Good Worldbuilding
The world in this music box is so beautiful and unique. It has many creatures that are different from humans, but they act like humans, and some of them even look like humans.
3. Beautiful Illustration
I love the color palette that the illustrator used in this graphic novel. It adds a magical sense to the story.
4. Fast Paced
This novel has a fast-paced plot, and for a children's book I think it is good. Children tend to get bored easily, so I think this book's pace is perfect for them.
5. Friendship
I think the characters have good chemistry. I love to see their friendship.

Bénédicte Carboneill (Carbone)
Having always been drawn to the world of children, Bénédicte Carboneill, aka Carbone, made the logical choice when it came time to decide on a profession by becoming a teacher. After joining the teaching ranks in 1995, she went on to become a principal before writing entered her life and quickly took over. Starting with publications on education (La Classe Maternelle, Jocatop/Bordas), she soon developed her own publishing house, Pas de l’échelle, which brought together comics and education. As an editor and author, Bénédicte began writing for young children and teenagers, including books published by various French-language publishers (Fleurus, Larousse, Mijade). In 2015, she tried her hand as a comics author with Le Pass’Temps (published by Jungle), taking on the pen name Carbone. She soon followed with La boîte à musique (Dupuis; The Music Box, Europe Comics, Capstone), and already has multiple other series in store, which readers can look forward to discovering over the coming years.

Jérôme Gillet, aka Gijé, was born in 1988 in Lubumbashi (Congo). Following his studies at the Saint-Luc Institute in Liège (Belgium), specializing in illustration, he moved to Luxembourg to continue his training in animation. After graduating in 2012, he started out as a freelance 2D artist before joining Zeilt Production as a computer graphics designer, and gained experience working on advertising campaigns, short films (such as Long Live New York), and animated series (Barababor, Prochain arrêt). The year 2018 marks a major evolution in his career, as Gijé turned to the comics world with the adventure series La boîte à musique (Dupuis; The Music Box, Europe Comics, Capstone), written by Carbone.
