A magical story where music truly can transport you!
On her eleventh birthday, music-loving Dahlia is given the key to her late mum's grand piano. She couldn't be happier! But when she plays a special tune with her best friend Tommy, a magic portal appears and Tommy is yanked through it.
Dahlia must launch a daring rescue mission, into a world where time has stopped, music is outlawed and Tommy has been arrested by a wicked queen. She'll need help from new friends, old rebels and possibly a broken drum to sneak in and out of the castle dungeons. But how can she possibly make it home in time for dinner?
About the Magic Piano Series:
Welcome to Sonora. While you're here: don't hum, don't whistle and definitely don't sing!
In this exciting new portal fantasy, 11-year-old Dahlia Jones is transported to a land where time has stopped and music has been banned by a wicked queen.
With fast-paced adventure and fun illustrations, The Magic Piano is perfect for readers aged 7+, who aren't quite ready for longer titles like The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster and the Time Keys series by M. G. Leonard.
James B Partridge is a singing teacher and content creator famous for his nostalgic 'Primary School Bangers' videos and live show. This has taken him around the UK and to festivals such as Glastonbury and the Edinburgh Fringe. His work has been featured in The Times , The Independent , Buzzfeed , and on national TV and radio. He also hosts his own music-and-education-based podcast called 'Notes from School'. When not singing, he loves exploring the coffee shops of London or walking on the coastline of his home county, Dorset.
Despite teaching music for over a decade, James hasn't yet fallen into his piano.
