Product Description

Caretakers of magical preserves need to visually identify dozens of mythical and magical creatures. This book will open your eyes to a secret world most humans know nothing about. Study these pages and learn about the many magical artifacts, potions, and weapons that could potentially save your life.

Furthermore, a smart caretaker will need to know how to recognize (and stay away from) the more nefarious creatures found in this book. Most importantly, The Caretaker's Guide to Fablehaven will give you the inside scoop about other magical preserves around the world, including the most magical and powerful creatures known to ever exist—dragons!

Scattered throughout the book are tidbits of wisdom and counsel from previous caretakers. For example, "Smart people learn from their mistakes. But the real smart ones learn from the mistakes of others."

Immerse yourself in the secret knowledge that has been handed down through the generations by reading the handwritten updates and notes scribed in the margins by the former (and current) caretakers of Fablehaven, including Patton Burgess, Grandpa Sorenson, Kendra, and Seth. Fully-illustrated, this unique encyclopedia has gathered the world of Fablehaven into one volume.

Perfect for those who couldn't get enough of Fablehaven!
By , Submitted on 2016-04-19

I was happily surprised. This book looked very interesting, and being a fan of the Fablehaven series, I wanted to read it. I was impressed with the art and presentation of this book. It was carefully put together to further explore magical creatures and the lore of the magical world. The book describes almost all magical artifacts, creatures, locations, demons, and dragons that were mentioned (not just featured) in the Fablehaven series. I would recommend this book be read by children 8 years and up. It is a wonderful and informative addition to the Fablehaven series. This was perfect for those who couldn't get enough of Fablehaven, and those who can't wait for Dragonwatch!

If you or your child are looking for a book similar to this to tide you over until 'Dragonwatch' I would recommend 'Arthur Spiderwick's Field Guide to the Fantastical World Around You,' from Holly Black's Spiderwick Series. It's a great part of another children's series that also deals with fairies and other magical creatures.

Hand-written notes in the margins (often humorous) give you added insights from those who have been the caretakers before you-

Do not read this book right before bed--
Or better yet--maybe you should-- to be prepared for those that walk the night!

SUCH A GREAT BOOK!

I have the kindle version, so I couldn't see all of the amazing illustrations, but there were a few, and they were great. I love Brandon Dorman's artwork. It was fun to learn about all the different creatures, plants, demons, etc. of the world of Fablehaven. Each description is very detailed and it was fun to go back and remember some of the characters from the first books. I think this book is done very well, and if you loved Fablehaven then you will definitely want this book! You may read my full review on my book blog: the-readathon.blogspot.com.
