. 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.
