THE STONEKEEPER'S CURSE by Kazu Kibuishi Category: Manga/Comics/Pop Fiction Age Recommendation: Grades 6+ Release Date: 9/1/09 Publisher: Graphix Reviewed by: Michaela Pallante, aka "Mickey" Rating: 5 Stars Navin and Emily are back with all their old friends, and some new ones, for another adventure in the AMULET series. Picking up where we last left our heroes, we find them inside their great-grandfather's traveling house searching for an antidote for their poisoned mother. When they reach the city of Kanal is when things start to look hopeful. That is until the elf prince and his army show up. The elf prince is determined to steal Emily's amulet and use its power. Now, Emily must learn to accept her role as a stonekeeper and save the day. This graphic novel is a very exciting sequel. Emily really comes out of her shell in this book and becomes a strong character. Boys and girls alike will love seeing Emily and Navin stand up for themselves and watching Emily take charge of the amulet's powers. I can't wait to see what's next for Emily and her family. Hopefully, we'll see the next volume in the series soon! |
