This is the first graphic novel that I have ever read! Unfortunately, I wasn't very impressed. The parallel universe was too random for me, and the main story line lacked any common sense so I kept being drawn out of the story. Probably engaging for early readers though.

An incredible book! I love the story this book tells, and definitely want this in my future classroom library!

I think this quote is powerful, you must work hard for the things you want. You need to be powerful within yourself and in your life to live life to the fullest!

I love how the amulet gets its own panel every time it says something! It shows the value in the words its telling!

It chronicles the misadventures of Emily, a young girl who finds a magical circular amulet in her great-home grandfather's that is sentient and autonomous. Additionally, because she was wearing the amulet, she had to escape the adventure and creatures with her friends, the amulet spoke to her important things, this is an adventurous graphica that covers all details that graphicas can hold!

I can see how young readers would really enjoy this story. There is mystery and magic with dark twists and turns on every page in both words and illustrations. Though it is a story about magic, there is more at stake than a typical magic story.

This story follows a family after a tragedy as they move to a new mysterious home. The children‘s mom gets kidnapped by a monster and it is up to them to save her using a magic stone. The darker images set the tone of the story to be gloomy and very mysterious.

So good I‘m on to book 2 right away and already plotting how I‘ll get the rest!

Not sure this picture will do it justice but wow, the art in this is amazing!
