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!

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!

It had really good drawings in it like the stonekeeper had 2 different couloured eyes

It's a graphic novel I liked it because it's about items which bestow power and I like books like that. My favourite character is Miskit

A quick but engaging read. Had me hooked from the start!

I think this would appeal to more mature Y4 readers up to Y6 and beyond.

Can't wait to read the rest of the series myself!
