This one has been on my radar for a while and we were lucky to find it at the local library (in Sweden). This is the story of a sister (Kendra) and her younger brother (Seth) who are to spend a few weeks at their grandparents remote estate set deep in the woods. These two characters immediately endeared themselves to my kids as I read this book aloud to them. What Kendra and Seth soon discover is that their grandparents are the caretakers of a sanctuary for mythical creatures (faeries, naiads, satyrs, etc.) and it can be dangerous. The story moves along briskly and the kids are the best characters. My own kids often chuckled at their interactions. They were thrilled by the story too. We'll be reading book two in this five-book series next.
