Fablehaven
Has anyone read this series yet? I just got through the first book and am about to plow through the second. I was skeptical at first because I really haven't been into fairy fantasy stories for, oh, about 30 years now (I was converted to sci-fi fantasy by the likes of Buck Rogers and Star Wars). By the time I got to chapter five of this book, I was hooked. I don't care for Harry Potter, but if you like that kind of genre, then I highly recommend this series. It's a very easy, but compelling read.

Thanks!
I have seen these advertised on the DeseretBook website...but wasn't sure if they would capture me.
I really like Cornelia Funk (Dragon Rider, etc.), Elizabeth Haydon (The Lost Journals of Ven Polypheme), R.D. Henham (Red Dragon Codex), J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis (Chronicles of Narnia), and many more.
The next time I get a chance to get a book from Deseret, I will have to pick up a copy of Fablehaven.
Thanks again for the recommend!

I'm plowing through book two now. The first few chapters are slow, just like book one. Looking forward to it picking up. I'm enjoying it.

I've read this series, It's a good one. When my grown son came to visit, he started reading them as well, and took them home with him he liked them so much. He started it and liked it so much he swiped them right off the shelf! He just had to finish it. I can hope he'll bring them back next time he visits  .
