Mega Quick Book Recommendation for Reluctant Readers (or anyone who likes a good read)

 I'm not breaking any ground here, but I recently picked up the graphic novel The Stonekeeper, book 1 of the Amulet series, by Kazu Kibuishi just to have a quick look-see, and didn't put it down until I finished it. Though a bit sad, and perhaps a little too frightening for 1st and second graders, third graders on up will be captivated.

Kibuishi creates a beautiful, exotic world where anything seems possible, especially once we meet the cast of memorable characters. This is the first of a series that will keep kids, and adults, asking when the next one's coming out.
