Fablehaven

=by Brandon Mull= Amazon

In //Fablehaven// by Brandon Mull, Kendra and Seth’s parents have to go on a two-week unwanted cruise in the middle of summer. The parents have no choice but to leave Kendra(14) and Seth(11) with their grandparents. Their Grandparents say no, but the kids have to come anyway. Then the magic beginsWhen Kendra and Seth are at their grandparent’s house they discover a notebook with three words in it: //Drink the Milk//. They soon discover a dish of milk in the backyard from which they drank. Suddenly butterflies appear as fairies. Grandpa then explains the meaning of the property. He says it is a preserve for magical creatures. Then one night creatures attack and Grandpa is captured. Now Kendra and Seth will have to save Grandpa from whatever took him. This book was pretty good but not the best. I recommend this book to anyone who likes fantasy, people such as Percy Jackson readers. Action and fantasy are both combined in this book, so if you want a slow paced book with not a whole lot of action, do not read this book. If you like fantasy this is the book for you! //By Trey//

__ Fablehaven __ by Brandon Mull

Think if your Grandparent’s backyard was a preserve for ancient and magical creatures that are facing extinction. This happens to Seth and Kendra Sorenson. They find out that their grandfather is the caretaker of that kind of place. It is called “Fablehaven”. //Fablehaven// is the first in an amazing series of five books. This book is full of adventure and mystery.

Everyone knows about this place called Fablehaven, right? Wrong! Two kids and their grandfather hold the secret. Kendra and her brother, Seth, break their grandfather’s rules by going into the woods. By drinking the giant cow’s milk and entering into Fablehaven, they unknowingly stir up dark magic. Very evil witches, trolls, goloms, and many more creatures begin to rise. They want to release Bahumat, a devil, who is imprisoned in the basement of the forgotten chapel. If the evil creatures can escape from Fablehaven, the whole world could be destroyed.

My favorite part is when Kendra and Seth milk the giant cow. They have to climb on and slide down the huge udders. They did this to get a large supply of milk. The only way to see creatures in Fablehaven is to drink the milk. There is a lot of humor when they slide down the teats and the milk shoots out like a fire hose. Seth said, “I feel like Hercules!”. This part had the most humor.

I loved this book. I think that it is even more creative than the Narnia books. I recommend this book to magic and mystery lovers. This is the first out of a five book series. I can’t wait to read them all.
