The Gypsy Fiddle: In a world of abundant magic, in which encounters with magical paintings, passages, and living sand sculptures are fairly commonplace, a powerful magical object in the form of a gypsy fiddle has been created to stop a terrible curse designed to destroy all life. Unfortunately, when the fiddle is stolen, another means to save the world must be found. In order to block the curse, a young girl named Elin must spend two hours a day in another world, one completely different than her own in which magic is virtually nonexistent. When it becomes necessary to increase her time in this odd world, life becomes something of a balancing act between magic and non-magic. Finding her place in both worlds helps Elin recognize the many ways in which magic can go wrong, which helps her understand that even in their non-magical simplicity, ordinary things such as bicycles, clay saucers, and umbrellas hold a special magic all their own.
