The Stonekeeper’s Curse felt very appropriate for its targeted age group. However, where book 1, The Stonekeeper, was surprisingly dark and mature, book 2 is not. This book introduces lots of great, new fantasy elements. Throw in some evil elves and more backstory on the amulet itself, and it’s a terrific adventure story with plenty of action. It picks up shortly after the end of book 1, and is a quest to find a magical fruit that has special healing properties. Kazu Kibuishi’s artwork is absolutely stunning, and the full-page spreads and vibrant colors really make this a gorgeous book. The Stonekeeper’s Curse is a wonderful continuation of the Amulet series. It’s up to Em to triumph over evil while controlling the amulet’s power. A battle that will engulf all of Kanalis is looming. That cure lies in the eggs of a giant serpent atop Demon’s Head Mountain, but the kids’ archenemy, Trellis, is headed for the peak, too. In this thrilling sequel to AMULET #1: THE STONEKEEPER, Emily and her brother Navin head for Kanalis, a beautiful and mysterious city of waterfalls, where they hope to find the antidote for the poison that felled their mother.
