The grandfather warns them that the creatures will try and lure them out, but they absolutely must stay within their room and in their beds. Their grandfather is the caretaker of Fablehaven and he keeps the creatures living in some sort of harmony, and enforces the rules that bind them all.īut on special occasions, the creatures are allowed to mingle and come up near the house and during that time, the family must retreat inside in order to stay safe. There are a number of these sanctuaries around the world, with caretakers for each one.
The grounds are beautiful, their grandfather is kind and interesting, and there are all sorts of amazing things to keep them entertained.Īnd then, they discover that their grandparents’ home is Fablehaven, a sanctuary for magical creatures, both good and evil, to protect them from extinction. When they arrive, they find themselves really enjoying staying there (although, mysteriously, the grandmother is absent). These grandparents are rather reclusive, but have agreed to watch them. Kendra and Seth are going to spend a few weeks with their grandparents while their parents go on a cruise. Funny, clever, and fast-paced, with normal children plunked suddenly in the middle of an intensely magical world, this would have been a great recommendation for the (enormous number of) kids who loved fantasy.
I am deeply regretting that I didn’t read Fablehaven before I was a librarian.
