Amulet: Book One, The Stonekeeper

by Kazu Kibuishi

Summary: As Emily and her parents travel to pick up her little brother, they have a horrible accident. Kibuishi illustrates a gut-wrenching scene of terror as Emily's father, trapped inside their car, slides off a cliff to his death. When Emily, her mother, and brother Navin move to a quiet home to start over, their mother is almost immediately eaten by a terrible tentacled creature. Emily finds an amulet that is supposed to help her and Navin find and save their mother, but it may not be all that it appears.

My thoughts: The opening scene of this graphic novel is dramatically illustrated and extremely haunting. If you like Bone, you'll love this book.
