My Favorite So Far... August 19, 2008
The latest installment of the Fablehaven series is my favorite. Mull is a very good author and gets you so involved in the book that you want to keep reading to find out what happens to the characters. You almost feel like you're there and that all of these magical creatures really do exist. Yes, it requires make-believe, but I think it brings out the kid in all of us. A+
An excellent fantasy August 9, 2008
A terrible plague has begun to sweep the land. "Fablehaven: Grip of the Shadow Plague" is a fantasy novel about the infestation of a plague that warps the creatures of light into servants of darkness. Who is responsible for this development of the plague? The only ones who can help are of questionable virtue at best, and danger is at every corner. "Fablehaven" is an excellent fantasy, sure to please fans of the genre, with twists and turns when the reader least expects them.
Mythical wonder July 27, 2008

This amazing book of magic can interest any reader that loves mythical creatures.
this book that stars kendra and seth is a very GREAT book. you will love it! book 3 is probably the most exciting one yet. the darkness almost takes over fablehaven but an object brings back an old friend.
o if you are looking for an exciting series of books, read fablehaven. it is exciting. brendan mull can fit tons of detail into one small sentence. fablehaven is awesome!
Thick with Detail July 27, 2008
The Fablehaven series somewhat reminds me of the Spiderwick Chronicles, but for a more sophisticated reader. The plots weave in and out teaching the young reader to pay attention to more than a singular path or character preparing them for more advanced reading. The details in the books are thick and well thought out without making it feel like filler. Anything and everything has the possibility of being pertinent to the current plot or to future ones enticing the reader to become highly invested. Don't you just love escaping? Although book one is indroductory, it's a very nice stand-alone story as well. Books two and three prove more intense and exciting while steadily building in new characters and widening the story to epic proportions. Kendra is the older, more magical and thoughtful heroine looking to the consequences of her actions in the future. The author provides younger brother Seth all the courage of a warrior without leaving out the humorous and disasterous results and recklessness of being a young man. It's good clean fun boiling down to the universal tug-of-war between good and evil with some really surprising morals and dilemmas. Not for children who may have problems with nightmares or who are scared of the dark, but just enough for a pre-teen. My hope is that this series will be noticed by the producers and directors of Rowling's HP movies. Although I'd hate to see it blotched and condensed like Spiderwick, these books would translate into glorious movies. Congrats to Mull...he's produced some great books worthy of hard copy shelf space in both the home and school library.
 Not as enjoyable as Harry Potter, but a worthy read... July 14, 2008
My sons and I got hooked on the Fablehaven series a few weeks ago. These books are fun to read for youth and adults. The plot and quality of writing is not quite equal to Rollins' Harry POtter series, but we still enjoyed getting lost in this fantasy world. I recommend this book and the series.
