The Amulet Book Two, The Stonekeeper's Curse

Kazu Kibuishi once again takes us back into the world of Amulet in Book Two: The Stonekeeper's Curse which is due out from Scholastic in September 2009.  The Stonekeeper's Curse is a compelling story with tons of actions and opens up in much wider ways the world of the first Amulet book.  It's a thrilling tale, a fantastic piece of comics from Kibuishi and a worthy successor to the first book.
