After the horrible death of their father, Emily and her brother, Navin, move with their mother to a new town to start a
brand new life. Their new house is very old and has been in their family for years. Emily is very interested by this old
house, particularly one room upstairs in which she finds a beautiful necklace with a very pretty stone in it.
Emily's cool find is soon overshadowed by a very strange first night in the house. After hearing noises in the basement,
their mother is kidnapped by a strange creature.
Emily and Navin, with the help of Emily's stone necklace, now have to find their mother and figure out what is going on in
this strange new town.
THE STONEKEEPER, the first in the AMULET series, is a quick yet enjoyable read, set up in graphic novel form. The
main characters are easy to relate to, and the supporting characters are serious but amusing at the same time. The
storyline is interesting and leaves you wanting to know more.
Kids will love seeing people their own age as strong and independent main characters. Emily and Navin are definitely role
model material.
