After Emily's father is killed in a car crash (dramatic opening pages), she and her brother and mom move into the old family homestead. Turns out it's a bizarre kind of a place where mom gets snatched by a huge octopus creature. So, it's Emily to the rescue with the help of a magic amulet. Gorgeous color, action frames, and clear storyline make it a hit. The ending demands that we read book two which may be annoying to some. scducharme | Jun 4, 2009 |   My advice:check it out from a library instead of buying it. It's an okay book, but not one you'll read again and again NobodysGirl | Apr 18, 2009 | This book was really visually beautiful and had an adventurous feel to it. It's the start of a series and I can't wait to see how it progresses. (  )knielsen83 | Mar 5, 2009 | Great artwork, nice story. (  )snoozebar | Jan 7, 2009 | A girl is sucked into an adventure when she is given a mysterious amulet. Her and her brother must set out on a quest to save their mother, and perhaps the world. This was a really good graphic novel that kept the attention of even my nephew, which is sometimes a hard thing to do. He's already asking for the rest of the series. christoa | Dec 5, 2008 | 0.028 seconds to build listing  no reviews | add a review
