ABOUT THE BOOK
Return to Brandon Mull’s magical world of Fablehaven, now brimming with stunning illustrations by award-winning artist Brandon Dorman. Celebrate 20 years of Fablehaven in this gorgeous anniversary edition with all-new artwork that accompanies the original text. One hundred color illustrations will open your eyes to a secret wildlife preserve for jealous fairies, mischievous satyrs, plotting witches, spiteful imps, and dozens of other mythical and magical creatures, including a giant milch cow!
Follow Kendra and her brother, Seth, who have no idea their grandfather is the current caretaker of Fablehaven, as they face the greatest challenge of their lives to protect the sanctuary and save their family.
Race with Seth through dangerous woods, dodging projectiles hurled by dark denizens of the forest. See the Fablehaven yard turn from a monochromatic garden with bees and butterflies to a brilliant, full-color oasis of colorful flowers and fairies. Watch Hugo the golem chuck pumpkins from one side of the page to the other. And witness Kendra fly with warrior fairies in a dramatic battle painting you’ll want to have framed on your wall.
Experience the fun and adventure of drinking the milk for the first time with this oversized, deluxe-format edition, perfect to introduce the story to a child or thrill a dedicated fan.
