Amulet Volume 3 The Cloud Searchers SC – Kazu Kibuishi’s thrilling tale of adventure continues in this third volume. Emily, Navin and their crew of resistance fighters are off in search of Cielis, a mythical city said to be on an island located high above the clouds. They seek the help of the Guardian Council’s powerful Stonekeepers. Surprises await them onboard the airship, but time is running out for Emily. She must find Cielis before the Elf King finds her. The first two books in this series have been a hit with kids, and with things getting more series, this volume is sure to continue to fan those fires. Upper elementary and middle school libraries will not go wrong with stocking this volume.
