BACK COVER INFORMATION:
What would you do if there was a way to turn your childhood play into reality?
Nina was born with quite an exceptional imagination. Before she could speak, her endless babbling with her toys amused her parents. Over the years Nina's creative play would help her parents remember when they were little and how they too could spend hours in a make-believe world.
Wherever Nina was, she would find a way to have the most remarkable adventures. Her family treasured how her pure heart made her playtime so fun and entertaining. Nina soon began to remind them of her Great-Grandma Ruth, who had quite the astonishing imagination.
Ruth passed before Nina was born and it wasn't until Grandma's move did they rediscover a family heirloom. A music box that had been treasured by Ruth. Memories of the magical music box came flooding back, but the adults believed it was merely childish belief. Even the magic words, "Play me a tale," seemed like nothing more than a cute phrase.
Was that really all it was or was there some truth in the magic of the music box? Would Nina be able to uncover the truth? Was it truly possible for the music box to bring her playtime to life?
