The Amber Amulet Summary

The Amber Amulet by Craig Silvey

Silvey is a master of wit and words-School Library Journal

Meet twelve-year-old Liam McKenzie, who patrols his suburban neighborhood as the Masked Avenger-a superhero with powers so potent not even he can fully comprehend their extent.

Along with his sidekick, Richie the Powerbeagle, he protects the people of Franklin Street from chaos, mayhem, evil, and low tire pressure on their cars.

But when he attempts to rescue a damsel in distress from sadness, instead, he finds a powerful, unlikely friendship.

This perfect jewel of a book by Printz Honor Award-winning Craig Silvey will hold all readers in its irresistible power.

The Amber Amulet Reviews

Praise for The Amber Amulet: Commended, Fellowship of Australian Writers National Literary Awards, Christina Stead Award, 2012 Praise for Jasper Jones: A 2012 Michael L. Printz Honor Book Australian Book Industry Book of the Year in 2009 * The author's keen ear for dialogue is evident in the humorous verbal sparring between Charlie and Jeffrey, typical of smart 13-year-old boys . . . A richly rewarding exploration of truth and lies by a masterful storyteller. - Kirkus Reviews Starred Review * Silvey's sure-footed, evocative prose, intelligent humor, and careful plot structuring may well ensure this Aussie import lasting status. -The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, Starred Review * The mood and atmosphere of the 1960s small-town Australian setting is perfectly realized-suspenseful, menacing, and claustrophobic-with issues of race and class boiling just below the surface. -The Horn Book, Starred Review * Silvey is a master of wit and words, spinning a coming-of-age tale told through the mind of a young Holden Caulfield. -School Library Journal, Starred Review
