Summary:

Kendra and Seth Sorenson travel to their Grandpa and Grandma Sorenson's house while their parents are away on a 17-day Scandinavian cruise. When they get there, they also meet Dale, a worker on the preserve, and Lena, the housekeeper. Grandma Sorenson is on a "trip" to go see Great Aunt Edina while she is dying. Grandpa Sorenson does not tell Kendra and Seth about Fablehaven being a secret preserve for magical creatures at first, but sets up clues for Kendra to find out. Once Kendra figures everything out, she and Seth drink some magical milk which opens their eyes to see a whole new, mystical world full of the magical beings of Fablehaven. Now that they are a part of the action they must defeat an evil witch who has a magical puppet in order to perserve the preservation.



My Reaction:

WOW! I love this book! There is so much going on that I didn't think I would be able to keep up with it, but it is written so well that you couldn't get lost. This is my second time reading it, and I still love it!

Potential Problems:

I don't think there are any potential problems in this book. Seth is a trouble maker and that might influence younger children, but oveall it's very good.

Recommendations:

I would recommend this to anybody who wants to have an exciting adventure. Fablehave is a jam packed place and you never know what's going to happen once you step over the boundary.
