Fablehaven I (44 page)

. Several of the creatures of Fablehaven personified

specific attributes. What did the fairies seem to personify?

The satyrs? The cliff troll? What are the strengths and

weaknesses of those characteristics?

. Lena spent part of her life as a naiad, in an unchanging

state. What aspects of mortality did she like? What did

she dislike? How do you think she felt about being returned

to the water? Was it fair for the fairies to do that?

. Fablehaven existed to help protect and conserve

vanishing magical species. Why would that be worthwhile?

Why do you suppose Grandpa Sorenson even wanted to

protect the dangerous creatures? What non-magical plants

or animals in our world are in danger of extinction? What

are we doing to protect them?

. There is a promise at the front of the book that

none who enter Fablehaven will leave unchanged. How

did their experiences at Fablehaven change Seth and

Kendra? What do you take from the book?

These are just a few topics to initiate discussion.
