Summary:

Seth and Kendra are spending time at their grandparents farm, Fablehaven.  While there, they are given a set of strict rules.  Seth becomes curious, and ventures into the nearby forest without permission, where he begins to learn about the magical creatures that inhabit the forest.

The children find out that their grandfather is the caretaker of the magical forest and is tasked with maintaining the balance of good and evil among the creatures who live there.

As Kendra and Seth explore, they accidentally break a protective spell, and their grandfather is abducted by mysterious creatures.  Seth and Kendra must rescue him and restore the balance of power at Fablehaven.

Mrs. Sneakyreader’s Opinion:

I loved Fablehaven.  It is imaginative, humorous, and filled with unexpected plot twists.  I thought the children were unnecessarily rude to each other at times, but that didn’t stop me from enjoying the story.

Potentially Offensive Content:

None.
