The Amulet series has won a veritable legion of enthustiastic young readers here at Copacetic, and we're certain they will all be happy to hear that the third, 200-page, full color volume in this series has at last arrived – just in time to provide a welcome weekend reward after a week of scholarly striving. Flying monsters, robot pilots, cities in the sky, and more fills the fantastic parallel universe – one that comes complete with prophetic glances into our own – with adventure and thrills. The Amulet series is definitely reminiscent of Miyazaki's work, with The Cloud Searchers bringing to mind
Castle in the Sky in particular, so we feel comfortable recommending this book to Miyazaki fans as well as fans of Jeff Smith's Bone who are looking around for something new to read. Anyone who has yet to expeiene Amulet, or is considering it as a gift, is encouraged to start at the beginning, with the first volume in the series, The Stonekeeper (which is, of course, readily available here at Copacetic, along with it's sequel, The Stonekeeper's Curse).
