We’ve previously written about the gorgeous Amulet series of graphic novels for ages 8 and up, when they initially became available for pre-order in Kindle format. All five books in the series were released in Kindle format in December of 2013, and readers are loving them in Kindle format every bit as much as they have loved them in print!
“Anchored by dazzlingly lush art and a complex, character-laden plot, Kibuishi’s Amulet series remains a must-have for all elementary- and middle-school graphic-novel collections.” – Booklist
The series includes:
Amulet #1: The Stonekeeper (4.5/5 stars, currently priced at $7.99)
Graphic novel star Kazu Kibuishi creates a world of terrible, man-eating demons, a mechanical rabbit, a talking fox, a giant robot—and two ordinary children on a mission.
After the tragic death of their father, Emily and Navin move with their mother to the home of her deceased great-grandfather, but the strange house proves to be dangerous. Before long, a sinister creature lures the kids’ mom through a door in the basement. Em and Navin, desperate not to lose her, follow her into an underground world inhabited by demons, robots, and talking animals.
Eventually, they enlist the help of a small mechanical rabbit named Miskit. Together with Miskit, they face the most terrifying monster of all, and Em finally has the chance to save someone she loves.
