Have you ever wondered what would happen if you could meet legendary characters from folklores?

Follow Danial as he meets Miss Mona and is tricked by his dad into reading Buku Ajaib. Whisked into a storybook adventure, he chances upon Kancil, Pak Pandir and Hang Nadim, all of whom are characters from Malay folktales. What happens to Danial as he finds his way home? Will he be trapped in this fantasy world forever or will he be able to get out? Help him find the answers to the many riddles in this exciting mini musical while you get to know these characters better.
