Just a quick post to share the power of the Amulet series by Kazu Kibuishi. If you haven’t encountered this powerful series yet then I can’t recommend it enough especially for more reluctant readers at any age. From the emotional opening of book one readers are dragged into a world of mystery and wonder. It has easily been one of the most popular books in the whole of key stage 2 over the past two years in my school and just this week it has inspired one of the most anti-reading children I have ever met. She is already on book two and spent yesterday promoting the series to the whole class (and kindly suggesting another teacher would lend it to them!)
