                 by Kazu Kibuishi



Book One: The Stonekeeper
     After the tragic death of their father, Emily and Navin move with their mother to the home of her deceased great-grandfather, but the strange house proves to be dangerous. Before long, a sinister creature lures the kids' mom through a door in the basement. Em and Navin, desperate not to lose her, follow her into an underground world inhabited by demons, robots, and talking animals.

Book Two: The Stonekeeper's Curse
     Emily and Navin's mother is still in a coma from the arachnopod's poison, and there's only one place to find help: Kanalis, the bustling, beautiful city of waterfalls. But when Em, her brother, and Miskit and the rest of the robotic crew aboard the walking house reach the city, they quickly realize that seeking help is looking for trouble, dangerous trouble.

Book Three: The Cloud Searchers
     In the third installment of the thrilling Amulet series, Emily, Navin, and their crew of resistance fighters charter an airship and set off in search of the lost city of Cielis, which is believed to be located on an island high above the clouds. The mysterious Leon Redbeard is their guide, and there's a surprising new addition to the crew: the Elf King's son, Trellis. But is he ally or enemy? And will Emily ever be able to trust the voice of the Amulet?

Book Four: The Last Council
    Emily and her friends think they'll find the help they need in Cielis, but something isn't right. Streets that were once busy are deserted, and the townspeople who are left live in crippling fear. Emily is escorted to the Academy where she's expected to compete for a spot on the Guardian Council, the most powerful Stonekeepers. But as the number of competitors gets smaller and smaller, a terrible secret is slowly uncovered--a secret that, if left buried, means certain destruction of everything Emily fights for.

Hunger Games - A Review

Dear EHMS students,

I don't know why I waited so long to read the series, but you are all right!  The Hunger Games series is absolutely amazing!  The drama, suspense, action, and vivid details and descriptions make the book a great read.  I have learned to love Katniss, Peeta, and Gale as friends and am sad that I am now on the third book.  It's going to end soon and I will be so sad!

Thank you for introducing me to such a great book.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Eckler
English Department Head
