Awesome.

I actually read the whole series but I'll count it as just one book.

I love these - inventive, exciting, well-paced, gorgeous and varied settings beautifully illustrated. One for fans of graphic novels and any other reader.

My favourite character is a little bunny named Misket. I found one of the people in it a little scary at the start but not for long

I like this book very much and it is definitely one of my favourites. The first book creates the backdrop and settings for the further
stories in the collection. It contains everything you need - magic, twists and turns, betrayals and mythical creatures. Kazu Kibuishi
not only writes but illustrates it too. Highly recommend if you like comic or graphic novels.

When Emily finds a secret amulet, she realizes that being a stonekeeper comes with VILLAINS AND MOSTERS as well as the good things.

It was fiction
I liked Emily
Actually I don't know why it interested me
Yeah i think so, if the person isn't younger than 6 or 5 yrs old

The start is warming you up and it leads into sadness

I really enjoyed this book and I was annoyed when the book finished on a massive cliffhanger! Overall the drawings were really good and the storytelling was incredible. 9.6/10

I liked Tharp it had elves and spider characters and it was a graphic novel

I can now see why this series was literally flying off my library shelves for the last two years! The books created such a buzz amongst the children and there would often be a 'queue' to read the different installments. I demolished Book 1 in one very short sitting so the children will now be sharing the series with their teacher!

First of the series of the Amulet books...stone keepers come in many guises.. Enjoyable read with excellent comic art

amazing but proberly scary for some children

Absolutely fantastic starter book. I like the idea it is set out in a comic strip style rather than a chapter book with no pictures. With each new part of the story a new character was introduced building a bigger adventure.

This book is about some two siblings.
Emily finds a strange amulet and their mother gets taken by an Arachnopod.

A graphic novel about some children whose dad has died, and they move into an old house which transports them to a magical world. Their Mum gets captured and they have to rescue her with the help of some creatures who are friends with the children's Great-grandfather. There was a rabbit-person called Miskit, and some robots and alive hoovers.

I found this book so creepy and weird and it always made me feel like it was reality, something happening around me while I read it!
Every time something went wrong while the heroes weren’t looking I’d think, oh no! And that is why I am so interested in this book!
