Explorer: The Mystery Boxes

An interesting collection of stories, each with a different box that surrounds a mystery, suitable for tweens and teens. I found the most meaningful stories in the book to be the "The Keeper's Treasure," "The Soldier's Daughter" and "The Escape Option." ( )

Z rated this himself, since he's read it and I haven't. ( )

A cute collection of short comics about kids and mysterious boxes. (Yes, I read this because Amulet is always checked out.) ( )

A colleof short graphic novels all centering on the idea of a mysterious box. Beautiful artwork.

Unfortunately the best box story was omitted from the final cut, in which Brad Pitt tirelessly asks "What's in the box?!" This was quite underwhelming, but it's a quick read. If you're a fan of Kazu and his work, I would suggest at least flipping through to read the stories you find interesting. Again, it's nothing special, but it goes by so quick that it doesn't hurt to give it a shot if you're a fan of Amulet and other stories. ( )
