La Boite à musique #2

Gijé and Carbone's enchanting 2018 Dupuis series continues with Le secret de Cyprien, and this cover sets a wonderfully mysterious tone — a solemn young boy dressed in feathers and natural fibers carries a vivid, ornately decorated instrument through a darkened bamboo forest, while glowing wisps of light drift around him and a startled girl rushes toward him from the depths of the trees. The lush, painterly artwork gives the scene a fairy-tale atmosphere that feels both urgent and full of wonder. Young readers with a taste for forest magic and hidden secrets will find this second volume very hard to resist.
