Sneak Peek: Fablehaven by Brandon Mull

Welcome to this month’s featured book from our Mother-Son Book Club Guide! We’re thrilled to share a story that’s sure to spark meaningful conversations and fun activities for you and your son.

Book Summary: When Kendra and Seth arrive at their reclusive grandparents’ estate for a two-week stay, they have no idea they’re entering Fablehaven, a secret magical preserve filled with both wondrous and dangerous creatures. As the truth unfolds, the siblings are both enchanted and intimidated by the varied creatures they meet. And when Seth’s curiosity leads to chaos during the Midsummer Eve festival, it’s up to Fablehaven’s newest arrivals to set things right before the magical world and their own family fall into ruin.
