![]() ![]() ![]() There are some 'mature' themes throughout such as the dad dying at the beginning and the great grandfather dying but at 8 years old most kids can handle that especially understanding that it is fiction but they can empathize with the characters' losses which is what a good book does! The characters are relatable for my son, and he loves all their various quirks. No more violent than old school batman and robin or spiderman cartoon, and its in defense of others or to protect others except when its perpetrated by the evil Elves. ![]() He has books 1-3 and has read and re-read them each at least 3 times! The illustrations are phenomenal, the storyline is interesting and creative, suspenseful, and has just enough 'violence' to captivate and facinate my kid without being inappropriate or overly graphic. ![]() To a certain extent it is the kind of book I would want to make outside of funny things. There is something incredibly inspiring about this book for me. The strange house proves to be dangerous. It immediately shot its author, Kazu Kibuishi to the top of my graphic novel heroes list with Doug TenNapel. The first book in Kazu Kibuishi's 1 New York Times bestselling series that features a beautiful but dangerous world of new friends, giant robots, and shadowy enemies After the tragic death of their father, Emily and Navin move with their mother to the home of her deceased great-grandfather. It is accessible to most kids that read at minimum a grade 2/3 level. Amulet 1: The Stonekeeper is one of the best graphic novels I have read. My 8 year old son absolutely loves these books. ![]()
