Amulet Book 4: The Last Council


Amulet Book 4: The Last Council
Kazu Kibuishi
Toronto: Scholastic, 2011
210 pages


Yet another graphic novel for our collection!

The latest volume in the Amulet series finds our heroine Emily and her brother and mother in the city of Cielis looking for help to battle the evil elf king. A series of misfortunes and revelations ensues that propel Emily to further her powers as a Stonekeeper, and form alliances in order to prepare for a confrontation with the evil consuming the land. With friends becoming foes, and foes becoming friends, this book will keep you on your toes!

Beautifully illustrated, the Amulet series by Kazu Kibuishi is a brilliant addition to the juvenile/teen graphic novels genre. Any reader looking for a series to read after enjoying the Bone series by Jeff Smith should try the Amulet series as well.

Book Count: 4 read, 196 to go.
