Fabelhaven book review

Fablehaven book review

While I am at it I am going to review the Fablehaven book series by Brandon Mull. I stumbled upon the first book in this series quite by accident with a Scholastic Book order and thought it looked interesting and at $5, what a bargain. What a bargain indeed! And what a trap! I have since ordered each and every book as soon as it came off the press. Pre ordered the last one.  Well. The final is coming and I just can't wait to read it.
Check out Brandon Mull's web site here. This book does talk about fairy folk of all sorts, there are evil entities and "good" entities. There is magic, but not the sort we are used to. This is an entirely unique and original book series with plenty of action and mystique. It will appeal to boys and girls mid to older elementary age and up. There are many quotable phrases and concepts that can be applied to life regarding good and evil, choices we make and the value of family. 

Fablehaven

For centuries, mythical creatures of all description have been gathered to hidden refuges around the world where they are watched over by human caretakers. Kendra and her brother Seth discover that their grandfather is the caretaker of one of these secret wildlife sanctuaries—Fablehaven.

The book series follows Kendra and her brother Seth as they learn about the secrets of Fablehaven and the threats to the 7 sanctuaries, where Fairy folk live, by an evil entity who wishes to unleash all the evil creatures on the world of human kind. Can they stop him? Each novel brings them great danger and new knowledge.  But will they survive, will they stop the evil one?
