Fablehaven

Fablehaven introduces siblings Kendra, 13, and Seth, 11, who are sent to their grandparents' secluded Connecticut home for the summer. They soon discover the truth: their grandfather is the caretaker of Fablehaven, a secret preserve for mythical creatures. What begins as a whimsical discovery quickly turns dangerous as ancient laws are broken, unleashing dark forces like evil witches, powerful demons, and a society bent on destroying magical preserves. The children must find courage, work together, and make difficult choices to protect their family, Fablehaven, and potentially the entire world. This series opener is packed with adventure, mystery, and themes of bravery, family loyalty, and the battle between good and evil, making it an engaging read for upper elementary and middle schoolers.

For centuries, mystical creatures of all description were gathered to a hidden refuge called Fablehaven to prevent their extinction. The sanctuary survives today as one of the last strongholds of true magic in a cynical world. Enchanting? Absolutely! Exciting? You bet. Safe? Well, actually, quite the opposite . . . Kendra and her brother Seth have no idea that their grandfather is the current caretaker of Fablehaven. Inside the gated woods, ancient laws give relative order among greedy trolls, mischievous satyrs, plotting witches, spiteful imps, and jealous fairies. However, when the rules get broken, an arcane evil is unleashed, forcing Kendra and Seth to face the greatest challenge of their lives. To save her family, Fablehaven, and perhaps the world, Kendra must find the courage to do what she fears most. ---------- **Books in this series** 1. Fablehaven 2. [Rise of the Evening Star][2] 3.
