![]() The Emerald Atlas is not only suspenseful, it is absolutely hilarious. (Not that I don’t think The Emerald Atlas wouldn’t make a great movie.) Reading this book took my personal definition of the word fantasy (a novel with made-up content and magical things which you can read in your spare time) to the next level. ![]() ![]() It’s good that The Emerald Atlas is a Book not a movie, because the violence would be a lot more graphic. If not, wait till the kids are older because this is definitely a must read. Parents if your child is at least ten and they are mature enough to handle a very violent book (Not as violent as The Hunger Games, but close, except that there aren’t numerous deaths in this book) and they are not sensitive to sad and upsetting things they read in books then The Emerald Atlas is OK for them. There is a lot of violence and some creepy villains, and some mean name-calling. I think The Emerald Atlas is for kids who are ages 11 or 12. As the back of the cover says, this is the story of three children who set out to save their family and have to save the world. After the Edgar Allan Poe Home For Hopeless And Incorrigible Orphans sends them to a new orphanage, the children find out that they are the only children who are at the place-(SPOILER-AVERT YOUR EYES) and that the man who runs it is a wizard. The Emerald Atlas by John Stephens is a middle-grade fantasy novel that is about three kids (Kate, age 14, Michael, age 12, and Emma, age 11) who are sent from one orphanage to another. ![]()
