Book 5 of the Fablehaven series named Keys to the Dragon Prison.
Written By: Brandon Muhl
Number of Pages 588
numer of stars I'm giving it: 4.5 (entire series)
I have really enjoyed this series. I can't compare it to Harry Potter or Percy Jackson because I haven't read those yet, but I feel like this is a great series for young readers.
It is also a fun read for adults, if you don't take it too seriously!
Despite the fact that there are demons and evil forces in this series it remains light and hopeful throughout. It is a good book to examine the differences between light and darkness, evil and good, and to make you examine what choices you would make in regards to those areas.
I thought that each of the 5 books were better than the previous one.
I never quite got over the fact that Seth was just an obnoxious little boy.
However I did learn that even obnoxious little boys can care about important things and make the right choices even when it is hard. I think that is one of the best lessons kids will take away from this book.
Kendra seemed a little on the naive/dumb side most of the time, even though everyone was constantly praising her for being very intelligent. I didn't really see that, but I think she is a good examples for young girls too. She did the right thing everytime she had too, even though she was scared and even though she was alone.
One of my favorite quotes in this book was
"Some imagine the difference between Heaven and Hell to be a matter of geography. Not so. The difference is much more evident in the individuals who dwell there."
I would recommend this book to anyone looking for something simply entertaining and fun!
