Publisher Description
For centuries, mystical creatures of all description were gathered to a hidden refuge called Fablehaven to prevent their extinction. The sanctuary survives today as one of the last strongholds of true magic in a cynical world. Enchanting? Absolutely. Exciting? You bet. Safe? Well, actually, quite the opposite...
Kendra and her brother Seth have no idea their grandfather is the current caretaker of Fablehaven. Inside the gated woods, ancient laws give relative order among greedy trolls, mischievous satyrs, plotting witches, spiteful imps, and jealous fairies. However, when the rules get broken, an arcane evil is unleashed, forcing Kendra and Seth to face the greatest challenge of their lives. To save her family, Fablehaven, and perhaps the world, Kendra must find the courage to do what she fears most.

A Favorite from My Childhood
This audiobook is a perfect example of the merits of AUDIObooks over traditional reading. The narrator, E. B. Stevens, does an outstanding job portraying the many voices of the series.
The series features children, adults, and the elderly; Somoans, Irishmen, and Navajo; fairies, dragons, demons, witches, wraiths, dryads, and a whole host of other mythical beings, all voiced by one person. As the series goes on, increasing numbers of complex voice acting and audio effects are used with great skill.
My only warning is that the two main characters are 11 and 13 respectively at the beginning of the series, and they’re written and voiced in an appropriately whiney way, which can be grating to older listeners.
