Amulet Collection

Author: Kibuishi, Kazu
Such a lovely dark and enchanting series! Fair warning, you can't just read volume one and call it a day or you miss the great character and plot development this story has to offer. It really does get so much better with each edition. Kibuishi delivers fantastic adventure wrapped in interesting art. I love his style with very cartoon-looking characters living in very detailed scenery— and it's super fun to look for the Easter eggs in the background! It spent several weeks topping the NYT Best Seller's List for good reason. Our main characters are a sibling duo; Emily, the big sister, is more bull-headed and plows onward while her younger brother is a bit more cautious. She has been chosen as the next Stonekeeper, and struggles to control her powers, solve the mysteries, and save her mom. She is smart, brave, and kind-hearted. While this could appeal to pretty young readers as there is nothing offensive in it, adults who love graphic novels thoroughly enjoy it as well.
