Fablehaven by Brandon Mull

Another of the series that is now held in the Primary Library is Fablehaven, an engaging adventure and fantasy series that should hook even the reluctant readers.  The content is suitable for Year 5 upwards.

While their parents are away on a Scandinavian cruise, 13-year-old Kendra and 11-year-old Seth Sorenson travel to their grandparents’ house, but they find Grandma is mysteriously missing. Grandpa Sorenson and Dale the groundskeeper are there. He sets up a complex puzzle for them to solve which involves 6 keys and a locked journal which Kendra unlocks. Inside the journal she reads “drink the milk”. Dale puts ‘magical’ milk out for Kendra and Seth each morning which, when they drink it, has an eye-opening effect on them.  

Grandpa Sorenson, is revealed as the current caretaker of Fablehaven which they discover is where, for centuries,mystical creatures have been gathered to protect them from extinction. Exciting adventures begin.
