Robbie was thrilled last week when he was chosen to be the student who introduced author Brandon Mull at today's assembly. Robbie devoured the Fablehaven series and The Candy Shop War and told me I'd love it too—he was right. I read the Fablehaven books this past week, expecting a mediocre Harry Potter knockoff, but after the first book I was hooked. The plot kept me turning pages, the dialogue kept me smiling and the characters came to life. And I loved the discussion questions at the end—there are some good issues to get kids (and adults) thinking and talking. Yep, Robbie takes after me...he's a book nerd. Now our only dilemna is who gets to read book four first!

Robbie,
That's great that you got to meet Brandon Mull. I LOVE the Fablehaven series. . . can't wait until April when the next one comes out! I even made my book club ladies read the first one last summer!
One day you need to talk your dad & mom in to visiting us in Alaska!
Tell your your family hello and give Grandma-Great Helen a hug for me.
Love you guys,
Claudia
