Evening is Coming

Ok, I get it it's a bad pun.  And no this isn't a Game of Thrones post (those books are amazing but they are definitely not for this age range).  But with a title like Fablehaven: Rise of the Evening Star, I couldn't help myself.

This is the second installment in Brandon Mull's Fablehaven series.  A full year has passed since Kendra and Seth last visited their grandparents.  In that time the threat of the Evening Star (an evil group trying to conquer places like Fablehaven) has become stronger so the Sorenson's have invited three experts to help.

While these experts search for an extremely powerful magical artifact hidden somewhere on the vast property, they are also training Kendra and Seth.  If they are going to take over Fablehaven some day, they will need all the training they can get.  But can all three of these experts really be trusted?

Rise of the Evening Star takes us even deeper into the magical world of Fablehaven.  I just love learning more about this enchanted place and am very much enjoying this series. But, as with everything, there is a balance.  The more the children explore and get to know this hidden magical world, the more real and serious the danger becomes.

Learning who to trust...that's kids stuff.
