Jesse Bullington: IMG Abash'd the Devil Stood

0 comments By Jesse Bullington

I don't believe in evil. It's a word I use, certainly, because words are shortcuts and we all take the short way round from time to time, but that's... Continue »

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

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.

Synopsis:

Fablehaven, a sanctuary for mystical creatures, survives as one of the last strongholds of true magic in a cynical world. Kendra and her brother Seth do not know their grandfather is the current caretaker, but they soon face the challenge of their lives when powerful forces of evil are unleashed.

Tons of fun! Adventure, fantasy, and humor in a plot that builds slowly at first, but when the story takes off, you won't want to put the book down! (The fourth book in the series - Secrets of the Dragon Sanctuary - arrives in stores on March 24th)

I was left pleasantly surprised with Fablehaven. I hadn't expected much since children's fantasy has a habit of being overdone. I felt this story brought some new elements into play and was unique. The only fault I found with this book was, as an adult reader certain parts of the story progressed a little too smoothly for me, but my daughter enjoyed it tremendously. We're both looking forward to the sequels.
