AMULET & Riley Bloom
Amulet, Kazu Kibuishi (Graphic Novel) Clever and poignant, Amulet is, on the surface, about navigating the murky waters of adolescence and, beneath that, an exploration of abandonment and survival. Emily and Navin are lost children, literally lost in a dark, new world and struggling to save their mother, who has been kidnapped by a drooling, tentacled beast. Stellar artwork, imaginative character design, moody color and consistent pacing. – Publisher's Weekly

Riley Bloom Series, Alyson Noel (Immortals) Riley, who appeared in ghost form to her older sister, Ever, in Noël's bestselling Evermore, takes center stage in this middle-grade spin-off. Having recently crossed over into the afterworld, Riley has reunited with her parents, who were killed in the same accident, but is having trouble adjusting. Her wit, attitude, and maturation should have readers gladly following her into the second installment. – Publisher's Weekly
