Fablehaven: Grip of the Shadow Plague (Fablehaven) (Fablehaven)
Date undefinedGreat series. Every book gets better as the series goes along. Book 3 is the best one yet.
Fablehaven: Grip of the Shadow Plague (Fablehaven) (Fablehaven)
Date undefinedIn book three, he doesn't waste time starting the adventure. Seth and Kendra are in deep after only learning about Fablehaven (and the true existence of fairies, and the like) merely 15 months ago. They have earned gifts and reputations and now test their ability to know what is the right thing to do and whom to trust. Twists and turns are hinted at but Brandon Mull makes you wonder, right along side Kendra and Seth. Descriptions are detailed enough to fire the imagination, but not so long that you wanted to skip 3 paragraphs. Your could feel the fear, the cold, the magic. Great Job Mr Mull! Keep writing, we want more.
I admit it! I love the Harry Potter books, but felt a bit silly reading something so much below my age level. But Brandon Mull's Fablehaven is just as exciting but isn't vocabulary deficient. Harry Potter is considered a 5-7 grade level book where Fablehaven is 7-9. It won't make you keep a dictionary at your side all the time, but will make you notice a new word not Harry Potter books. And it still does not have the unnecessary bone-breaking detail or sexual content.

Date undefinedMy 11 yr. old son LOVES this series! According to him, #2 was the best of the three, but all were exciting and imaginative. If you have kid who loves fantasy, as mine does, he/she will find this story and this series very compelling and hard to put down. Highly recommended for fantasy-lovers.
