"Something's deeply weird about this place" (Hillside Academy, a school in Atlanta, Georgia), says Rich. Darwen Sebastian Arkwright agrees. He has a mirror in his closet, that Mr. Peregrine gave him at the mall, that enables him to enter Silbrica - "an enchanting world that holds as many dangers as it does wonders." Darwen's parents were killed in car accident in England and he has come to Atlanta to live with his busy, financial advisor aunt. She enrolls him in prestigious Hillside Academy which he hates. Well-to-do bullies and difficult teachers make his adjustment even more difficult. He does form somewhat reluctant friendships with Alexandra and Rich, and together they save the world - both of them! Unfortunately, Greyling escapes and so the Peregrine Pact will continue to use trust, imagination, and love to battle the forces of evil. Filled with wonderful and terrifying creatures, Silbrica is sure to please Fablehaven fans.
"Almost is such a wonderful word...so full of wiggle room and loopholes, so not absolutely anything..."
"Archeology is awesome because it is history and science at the same time."
