Fablehaven / Brandon Mull / 351 pages

Got a kid who likes page-turners with plenty of monsters, magic and two kids who are heroes?  Just hand 'em Fablehaven and be done with it.  There are 6 books in the series so your young reader will be engrossed for awhile.  Although as an adult I must say that Seth, the younger brother, is terribly annoying but I guess that's what little brothers are supposed to be.  Recommend for grades 5-7.
