Fred - Have you ever wondered what would happen if all the mystical creatures (good and bad) were living all around you; but you couldn't see them? This is exactly the storyline of Fablehaven by: Brandon Mull. This book takes you on a fantastic adventure, where fantasy meets reality and all unbelievable things become true. As Kendra (13) and Seth (11) go to their grandparents house, due to their parents going on a cruise. At first, the children are bored, but soon grew curious of the grandfather’s ginormous property.

The brother and sister soon recognize the riddles led to an even bigger surprise!When you drink a special milk you are able to see a more interesting world around you. Soon there are fairies, naiads, witches, imps and satyrs all for the grandchildren to see. Some are good, some are bad, “This is Hugo our golem, he does all our chores and grants every request we give him.” Hugo is a good creature who would never be mean. There are other creatures on the property who would kill in a second. According to the grandfather a bad time is to come to Fablehaven, the summer solstice and the Rise of the Evening Star. Not knowing what is to come next the children grow erie of the animals and the home. The genre of the book is fantasy, Brandon Mull writes other fantasy novels like the 2nd,3rd,4th,5th novels of this series. His writing falls under the same category as Percy Jackson, with the mystical creature living with the humans. The people who would like this book, are those who like mythology and fantasy. This is a amazing book that I would rate 5/5 stars. I really like the content and the way it was written.
