I'm sure my sister would say that I was a lot like Em, bossy and determined to be a grown-up and in charge, when I was 10 years old, and so I'm sure, if Kazu Kibuishi had written the Amulet series when I was 10, or even 15, I would have been one of those children lining up to pre-order the next installment, but alas, the graphic novel was not the new form of children's media establishing itself on the literary scene when I was a tween.
There are many very obvious reasons for this, I am not a mother, nor am I an 8 year old boy, a 10 year old girl, or an adorable pink rabbit. The story is intriguing and most of the characters are relateable and adorable, but unfortunately I struggled to connect with any of them.
I can totally understand why this series is beloved by hundreds of thousands of children and adults, unfortunately, I am not one of them.
