Fablehaven is about a brother and sister who visit their reclusive grandparents, expecting a dull and awkward couple of weeks. Through a natural course of events (and a few riddles) they discover that their grandparents are the caretakers of a preserve for magical creatures. Adventures ensue.
This book may appeal to the usual fantasy readers & Harry Potter crowd, as it involves both magic and empowered children exploring their world and solving problems. I particularly appreciated that breaking every rule one comes across was not the key to heroism, but that observation, thoughtfulness, and selfless bravery were.
