I have used the Amulet series (and Bone) to help students get into reading by recommending graphic novels. The book has a combination of imagery and words that creates another world for students to dive in to. The story is also a long heroes journey to defeat the unruly king and has good moral lessons as well.
This is a graphic novel following Emily and her friends/family on a journey to Lucien. This story follows their journey looking for a special beacon they need to defeat the elf king. They traverse war ravaged towns and travel into the void where Emily learns the history and secrets with the elf king with the help of Max who has turned back to his real age. The book ends with a fight between the gang and the Elf Kings guards and is a good read.
I‘m really feeling this right now: “Trust your instincts…And not making decisions can prove to be the worst decision of all.” You are so right, talking fox guy.
Book Six: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Cursed stones, parasitic shadow thingies, an underground city. World building.
Book Seven: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The stones are like a cult leader, preying on the vulnerable. Emily‘s not as strong as she thinks. And assassin elf dude is back.
Book Eight: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
A massive, fiery Phoenix, a Stonekeeper giant, colossus robots. Hell‘s bells, I thought this was the last book, but there‘s one more with an undetermined pub date this year. FML.
I didn't read the whole thing yet, but it's awesome so far!
Ahh, it‘s getting so good! I need the next one...like now 😬
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Amulet, a lovely graphic novel series geared toward a younger audience, but, surprisingly, has some darker tones to the narrative and the artwork. I chose this as my #allagescomic for the #readharderchallenge2017 and am glad to have chosen this series because it's exceeded my expectations; it's fun to read, the artwork is great, and it's really refreshing to see a young, female protagonist's story not bound by a story arc based around romance.
This series certainly takes you on a lot of adventures!
Oh so close to the end of my 2016 reading challenge. I will probably finishing about 5 to 6 more books by the end of 2016.
OMG!!! So so good!!
Now on to the LAST book 😭 I'm gonna miss these guys
