Our 2nd book was Amulet by Kazu Kibuishi - a fun graphic novel full of adventure (if a bit thin on the story). We decided that the book was more of a graphic novella. Too developed for a comic book but not developed enough for our colloquial definition of a graphic novel. The book is on the younger side of YA but could be very appealing to kids looking for video game like excitement in their reading
Coming up next: The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey.
