Genre: Fantasy

The main characters of this epic and interesting book are Seth and Kendra. Seth is thirteen years old, loves adventure, and is always getting in trouble. Kendra is fifteen years old and, unlike her brother, follows the rules. Kendra is more cautious than her brother who disregards the risks and jumps right into the adventure. Seth is my favorite character because he is funny and is more interesting to follow in the story in my opinion.

The story starts in Connecticut in a place called Fablehaven, a hidden sanctuary for mythical creatures. Then Seth and Kendra go to Montana where they are established caretakers of another hidden sanctuary for larger and more dangerous creatures. While there the dragons take the opportunity to strike by revolting against the caretakers. The dragons want to be free and they will do all it takes to escape their sanctuary prison and take over the world, eliminating innocent people in the process. In this incredible adventure Seth and Kendra, with some help from their friends, have to stop the crafty dragons from taking over.

This book is my all time favorite book. I recommend this book to ten years and older who like fantasy books. This book is also easier to follow if you read the series leading up to it, Fablehaven.
