I've been reading the Amulet series for ages, and I only wish these came out sooner. I feel like the gaps in between volumes are large enough that I have to go back and remind myself of the whole series every time a new one comes out. First world reader problems again.

That said, Amulet is one of my favorite series to give to my students. It has simple characters going through complex problems and also robots and talking rabbits. The art is beautiufl, and the story is engaging enough that my kids get crazy-excited when I tell them there is a new volume. I've had to replace this series in my class library more than any other, so third grade book kleptomaniacs agree that it is worth risking a referral to obtain.
