Fablehaven

Fablehaven is a fantasy, 5 book series where fictional creatures are hidden from the human eye and look like normal things. They’re long novels that range from 300 to 550 pages. There is a lot of dark magic, witches, demons, and other things like that, but they are representing evil. This is definitely a good versus evil story where the good will prevail over the evil. There is some romance, but nothing inappropriate. I don’t recommend this for sensitive readers. Here is a link to his website: http://brandonmull.com/

Book One

In this book Kendra and Seth Sorenson find themselves staying at their grandparent’s mansion because their great aunt and uncle died and left an allocated sum of money that was used for a big cruise for their adult children, nephews, nieces and their spouses however their children were not included. Their grandpa is strange; he has work to do all day and their Grandma never is around. They can’t go into the forest. Seth finds himself breaking that rule. He ends up meeting an old and crazy hag locked in a hut and finding a beautiful garden with exotic animals. After several times of going into the woods, he eventually gets his obedient sister, Kendra, to come into the forest. Their Grandpa finds out quickly what they did. Their punishment is that they are not allowed to leave the house without adult supervision. Later, they drink the “butterflies ” milk and it opens their eyes to a hidden world of magical creatures. That starts a wild adventure.
