Waiting on Wednesday (6)

I read a lot of YA books, and this is no secret, but by far my second favourite genre for books is MG Fantasy/Adventure. Things like the Artemis Fowl series, and the simply amazing Fablehaven series. But to be honest those are the only things I’ve read from MG, which makes it so much more amazing that if I had no YA books left to read in the whole world the next thing I would dive into without a doubt would be MG. So having said that it is really no surprise (or it shouldn’t be!), that my Waiting for Wednesday this week is for the fifth and final book in the Fablehaven series called Keys to the Demon Prison. These books have absolutely captivated my entire family (minus the infamous father who we still don’t think can read). My mom loves these books, my sister loves them, and the series is among my top 5 favourite books period. Out of all books. Ever. However it being the last in the series I can’t really tell you what it’s about – especially since they haven’t really released any information on it at all. But what I CAN do is introduce (assuming you have not been introduced already!) you to the series via the first book, simply called, Fablehaven.

Fablehaven (#1)

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.
