![]() ![]() ![]() But on one fateful day, his life is upended…by an unstoppable (yet pretty impressive) beard.Īn off-beat fable worthy of Roald Dahl and Tim Burton, Stephen Collins’ The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil is a darkly funny meditation on life, death, and what it means to be different–and a timeless ode to the art of beard maintenance. He loves drawing, his desk job, and the Bangles. Citizens are clean shaven-and Dave is the most fastidious of them all. The job of the skin is to keep it all in… ♦īook title: The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil I highly recommend this middle grade graphic novel. I read The Stonekeeper in one sitting, absolutely enthralled by its fun story and its great characters. I wish the book had been longer, though, or that I just had the entire series to marathon at once. There’s lots of awesome action as well as some really heartfelt moments. The full-color artwork is beautiful and fabulous and just eye candy. This graphic novel is much darker than I expected - the prologue alone had me in shock it was so sad. The Stonekeeper is a wonderful setup for the rest of the Amulet series. Now it’s up to Em and Navin to figure out how to set things right and save their mother’s life! On the family’s very first night in the mysterious house, Em and Navin’s mom is kidnapped by a tentacled creature. THERE’S SOMETHING STRANGE BEHIND THE BASEMENT DOOR…Īfter a family tragedy, Emily, Navin and their mother move to an ancestral home to start a new life. ![]()
