Graphic Novel Club: Amulet

Thursday, August 13 from 4:00-5:00. Ages 8-13.

Graphic Novel Club is a space for graphic novel lovers to come together and talk about the books they love (or hate!). Each month, we will all read the same book and meet at the library to talk about it. We'll have discussion questions to keep the conversation going, activities related to the book, and a selection of read-alikes (books recommended for fans of the book we're discussing) available to borrow. Registration is required!

This month, we're reading and discussing the first book in the Amulet series, The Stonekeeper

This is 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. The strange house proves to be dangerous. Before long, a tentacled creature lures the kids' mom through a door in the basement. Em and Navin, desperate not to lose her, follow her into a fantastical world inhabited by robots, mysterious plants, and talking animals. It's up to Em and Navin to figure out how to set things right and save their mother's life!

We will have copies available to borrow in the Children's Room. If you read the book, but decide you don't like it, come to the meeting anyway! We welcome honesty; dissenting opinions make for the most interesting conversations!
