Synopsis
Misha is excited about visiting his favourite aunt, especially now that she has moved into a cottage that is more than a century old. What an opportunity to search out secret passages and hidden cellars. But Aunt Dora's home in the historic town of Belfountain has also raised the interest of others: a society of crows, including the mystic albino Old One, all intent on finding something hidden. Before he knows it, Misha is drawn into his aunt's secret. She is a Keeper, one of a line of wise caretakers of the ancient Pandora's Box, and it is her duty to keep it under lock and key. All the evils of the world were released eons ago, but once a day the Keeper unlocks the box to dispense just a little of the Hope still in it. This remaining container of Hope must be guarded at all cost. There are only two keys: one rests with Aunt Dora, but now the other has been stolen by the crows. Misha must find the key before the clever and resourceful crows get to the box first. Determined to outwit the evil creatures and get the better of Old One, Misha has no idea how far he will have to go.

From the Back Cover
Misha's Aunt Dora has moved to an old cottage in the historic town of Belfountain, and Misha can hardly wait to visit. But when he arrives, Misha finds that his aunt has also attracted the interest of the local crows, who watch her every move. Odder still, they seem to listen in on Misha's conversations with his aunt. What is going on? Before he knows it, Misha is drawn into his aunt's secret. She is the Keeper, caretaker of an ancient box of great power. Aunt Dora holds one key to the mysterious box, but the other has been stolen by the crows. Now the evil birds are determined to find the box and claim it-along with its powers-for their own. The crows won't let Dora out of their sight. Now it's up to Misha to search out and reclaim the stolen key. And he must act alone.
