Amulet The Stonekeeper

Decent Essays
I am reading the science fiction book Amulet The Stonekeeper by Kazu Kibuishi. This book has 187 pages. According to Jeff Smith the creator of BONE, “Five-no three pages into this book you will be hooked.” I think this book is for struggling reader. I say this because this book is a graphic novel. The protagonist in the book is Emily. She has this amulet that can shoot this weird lightning like power if she focus. She is brave and wants to find her mom because the antagonist took her mom through this weird octopus thing. The setting is in this weird world. With different type of animals. The first thing that happened is that Emily and Navins dad got in a car crash and there dad died. The they move out of town and they start

    The show opens with a fast forward to the final episode of the season, similar to season one of How to Get Away with Murder (Robinson, 2015). A station wagon is seen flying down a dirt road and we see the three main characters (who are inside the car) looking behind them in a panic.
