They have now become a part of a fantastical new world that is a deadly as it is beautiful. It is home to dryads, fairies, demons, satyrs, centaurs, naiads, and a witch (the woman Seth encountered), among countless other mythological creatures. Fablehaven is one of five secret preserves located all over the world. What it really did was open their eyes to all the fantastic creatures hidden in plain site in the guises of normal creatures.īy solving the puzzle, the kids have shown their Grandpa that they are the type of people worthy of learning the secrets of the preserve, that is what Fablehaven really was. The are directed to try to very milk that Dale had warned her not to drink as it was filled with dangerous bacteria. But it isn’t until Kendra and Seth solve the mystery with the keys Grandpa Sorenson gave Kendra that all the curiosities start to make sense. Seth then finds a park with a pond and a gazebo. Kendra sees Dale (a helper on the estate) setting out tins of milk for the insects, but evades her queries into the milk. While exploring the forest (a blatant breaking of the rules), Seth discovers an eerie woman living in a shack. While swimming, the kids notice many insects and other flying creatures interacting curiously with a mirror. They were shown to their room, given some instructions (such as to stay out of the forest), and left to themselves. Their stay started out a little apprehensive but things quickly mellowed out.

As they had no other alternative, Fablehaven it was. Kendra had overheard her mother talking with Grandpa Sorenson and she did not have high hopes for this trip. Nor of course were they invited to stay at Fablehaven, the estate that the Sorenson’s (the grandparents) had inherited. Following the accidental deaths of one set of grandparents, their parents were to be sent on a 17-day cruise with other relatives, children not invited.


The story starts with siblings Kendra and Seth begin taken to their reclusive grandparents in Connecticut. I’m sure you’ll be able to tell from what I write. I’ll just say it now that I love this series. The next five reviews are going to be for Brandon Mull’s five book ‘Fablehaven’ series. I was in England for for two weeks over Easter and am finally able to sit down and write another review.
