Fablehaven: part 1

book 1                 book 2               book 3             book 4                  book 5              
                      



                  One of my favorite series is Fablehaven by Brandon Mull. It is certainly fantastic!!!I can't describe how good it is---but I'll try.


Here is some stuff from the author's site (http://brandonmull.com):
book 1: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, mischevious 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.


book 2:At the end of the school year, Kendra and her brother, Seth, find themselves racing back to Fablehaven.  Grandpa Sorenson, the caretaker, invites three specialists — a potion master, a magical relics collector, and a mystical creature trapper — to help protect the property from the Society of the Evening Star, an ancient organization determined to infiltrate the preserve and steal a hidden artifact of great power.
Time is running out.  The Evening Star is storming the gates.  If the artifact falls into the wrong hands, it could mean the downfall of other preserves and possibly the world.  Will Kendra learn to use her fairy gifts in time?  Will Seth stay out of trouble?  Can they overcome paralyzing fear?
   
            more on this later.

  1. Congratulations and welcome to the blogosphere. I do wish we'd learn more about your opinions. The summaries from the author's website remind me of the plot, but not exactly why I should read these.

    Any other books to recommend?
