Amulet Volume 2: The Stonekeeper's Curse (Kazu Kibuishi)

Though Emily and Navin were able to rescue their mom last time, she is poisoned and fading. They travel (in a moving house) to the city in search of a cure, where they learn that hope lies in a fruit found on a desolate mountain. A place where many have ventured, but none have returned. With a new companion to help but foes on their tail, can they possibly succeed? The answer may lie in Em's ability to control the amulet's power . . . without it controlling her.

Volume two in this series was like the first: basic story, captivating presentation (meaning artwork). The message was mixed; some good stuff, but other typical worldly (and inaccurate) messages.
