Book recommendation (2) - Amulet: The Stonekeeper

2025-04-30

Title: Amulet: The Stonekeeper

Author and illustrator: Kazu Kibuishi

I asked my 10-year-old nephew, Connor, what books he loves to read. And he told me about the Amulet book series!

The Amulet books are comics. I think they are also a fun challenge for more experienced readers.

I love this book because it is a mix of science fiction ideas [robots and technology] and fantasy ideas [magic and monsters]. I also love to read comic books. 

I am very interested in the creator, Kazu Kibuishi, because he wrote and illustrated all the books! That’s amazing!

I recommend this book if you like Harry Potter.
