of the Elves. (Amulet series, Book 5) Scholastic/Graphix 199p $12.99 978--0-545-20889-5 2012 elem VG-BN Graphic novel
Upper-elementary students who love fantasy graphic
novels will appreciate Prince of the Elves, the fifth installment in the
Amulet series. In this installment,
Emily, her brother Navin, and their friends are gearing up to save Cielis against the Elf King. In order to survive the battle against the Elf King, they
must learn about the past and get by Max Griffin, who has stolen the Mother Stone
and has joined the Elf King. This book reveals not only
secrets about the stone, including its voice, but also provides readers with Max’s back story and develops
more characters for them to enjoy. Readers begin to
understand more about why Max is serving the Elf King and how he got into that position.
The author includes a map at the back, and the gorgeous
illustrations will captivate readers and keep them
turning pages as they cheer for Emily and Navin and hope they will defeat
the Elf
King. Even though Prince of the Elves is book five in the series, it can stand on its own without confusing
readers.
For schools who use Accelerated Reader,
this title already has a quiz (AR Quiz #153880).
