Fablehaven Review

I liked it. It was a good book and a fun read. But I only liked it. I've noticed that many of the reviews are about what an amazing book this is. I agree that this is a good book. I gave it four stars. I did it because, although this is truly a magical book, I think it could have done better. This book and the entire series has so much potential. The author did a wonderful job, but he made one error. This series reminded me much of the Harry Potter series. The difference between these series is the audience that each is receiving. Harry Potter is popular for every age group and every gender. I realize many of you will beg to differ when I say Fablehaven was more directed toward children. I am aware of the many adults who have read this book and loved it. But like I said, this book has so much potential. Harry Potter is worldwide and a favorite, if you mention the name everybody knows what it is. Fablehaven is known yes, but it could have been just as well known as the Harry Potter series. Excluding what I have said, the book is perfect. It's unique and the author truly has talent. I adored the main characters and their differences. The boy was the troublemaker, his sister the goody-goody. It was great perspective of the life of siblings. I thoroughly enjoyed how every character in the book had a big part to play in the plot. It was a good book and one that you will definitely want to reread often.

Fablehaven Overview

For centuries mystical creatures of all description were gathered into a hidden refuge called Fablehaven to prevent their extinction. The sanctuary survives today as one of the last strongholds of true magic. Enchanting? Absolutely. Exciting? You bet. Safe? Well, actually, quite the opposite.

Kendra and her brother, Seth, have no idea that their grandfather is the current caretaker of Fablehaven. Inside the gated woods, ancient laws keep relative order among greedy trolls, mischievous satyrs, plotting witches, spiteful imps, and jealous fairies. However, when the rules get broken -- Seth is a bit too curious and reckless for his own good -- powerful forces of evil are unleashed, and Kendra and her brother face the greatest challenge of their lives. To save their family, Fablehaven, and perhaps even the world, Kendra and Seth must find the courage to do what they fear most.

Great Book - Horrible Narration - M. Rodriguez -
I absolutely loved this book. When I read it. In fact I finished it in 2 days and went on to finish the rest of the series in two weeks. Since I'm an avid audio book listener, I wanted to give these audio books a try. Wow! what a let down. The narrator reads the book as if he were reading to a preschooler. The fluency of the narration is stilted and emotionally childish. The pitch to the vocals is too hi and excited for narration and the dialogue is extremely unnatural, almost as if the characters were all speaking to a 3 or 4 year old. I'm surprised that the reader chose such an approach since the book is well beyond a preschooler. I teach 5th grade and I am sure that if one of my students heard this audio book they would be insulted.
Read the book. Don't waste your money on the audio version. Unless of course you want your preschooler to listen.

decent new series debut about a magical haven - audrey - white mtns
Fablehaven is just what its name implies -- a haven for magical creatures in a high-tech world. Seth and Kendra have no idea what they're in for when they are forced to spend two weeks with their grandparents while their parents are away, but it soon becomes apparent that there are strange things afoot. Seth's insatiable curiosity and his willingness to ignore the rules lands the sibs in a pile of trouble -- and an adventure they will never forget.

In this debut we hear that the kids' grandparents are looking for possible successors to their responsibilities at the haven, and it' clear they're considering Kendra and Seth for the job.

The characters are interesting and well-written, and there are some great fantastical ideas. We all enjoyed this book though it was not transcendent, and there is one surreal scene in which the kids need to milk a giant cow -- never read anything like it!!

Fablehaven - Erica -
When I read the first chapter I expected this to be another version of The Kingdoms and the Elves books. There were similarities, but I was gald to find that this childhood adventure to be different. The children are faced with the real life situation of having important information withheld from them for their own good. They react in opposite but believable ways. One follows the rules, the other breaks the rules. They are forced to make difficult choices and make mistakes that put loved ones and magical creatures in danger. It is a pretty good story about learning from your mistakes.
