I got this series for my Niece on her 9th birthday. She's absolutely loving it! At her request, I'm going to read the series too. And after reading this first volume, it certainly won't feel like a chore.
This is fun stuff which is odd to say because it starts with Em and Navin's father dying, then just a few pages later their mother is kidnapped by monsters. It's pretty dark and morbid at times, but the whole thing is a big fast-paced adventure. It's like Bone meets Coraline.
Great pick for the younger kids to get them into comics (and reading for pleasure in general).
My niece's elementary school teacher despises comics. Blows my mind.

Comics were how I taught myself to read a bit before starting school.
I had a friend who, as a child could not (would not?) read, and was regarded as stupid. An enlightened teacher introduced him to comics. When I knew him, he was completing a Masters degree in Biochemistry. Since then, I have never doubted comics/graphic novels place in encouraging literacy.
The previous children's librarian where I work hated them, as well. As soon as she retired, the new librarian ordered dozens of them.
They are checked out constantly.
