I enjoyed reading this book.
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!
its very sad that emilys dad had died in a car crash while they were picking navin up from a school or smth. i love comic books so if u love them too then u SHOULD READ IT !
really good
great book like a comic i would like to read next book
great book would like to read more in the series
This was the first graphic noval book I ever read. I liked the magic and the actionin it.
I liked the stone keeper best!
Unputdownable!
Really intensive
I loved it. Yes I would recommend it.
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!
It was really good. It was a bit scary and had a lot of mystery and action in it. I would definitely reccomend it!
Fabulous graphic novel. A compelling story and gorgeous visuals.
A little scary in some parts but I really like this book.
I really liked how at the end, you really want to know what happened next.
Scary and bit happy
Because the octopus is crawling around. My favourite character is Emily and Max and the bunny
Adventurous
It is a great graphic novel
My favourite character is miskit
Yes I would recommend this
Excellent
Amazing!
