Books

My sister-in-law was reading this book while we were on vacation and it sparked John interest. Fablenhaven by Brandon Mull. The first book is good, but the sequels are even better - I couldn't put it down. They are young adult books - but totally fun. I would check them out!

This is from book two - loved it! (and book 3 is even better- now I am waiting for 4 and 5!!) No worries on spoiling - just a funny quote.

" You should have Hugo throw you in the pool." The golem turned his head toward Seth, who shrugged. "Sure, that would be fun." Hugo nodded, grabbed Seth, and, with a motion like a hook shot, flung him skyward. Kendra gasped. They were still thirty or forty feet away from the edge of the pool. She had pictured the golem carrying Seth much closer before tossing him. Her brother sailed nearly as high as the roof of the house before plummeting down and landing in the center of the deep end with an impressive splash. Kendra ran to the side of the pool. By the time she arrived, Seth was boosting himself out of the waster, hair and clothes dripping. "That was the freakiest, awesomest moment in my life!" Seth declared. "But next time, let me take off my shoes."
