The Grip of the Shadow Plague

By: Brandon Mull

Narrated by: E. B. Stevens

Strange things are afoot at Fablehaven. Someone or something has released a plague that transforms beings of light into creatures of darkness. Seth discovers the problem in its infancy, but as the infectious disease spreads, it becomes clear that the preserve cannot hold out for long. In dire need of help, the Sorensons question where to turn. The Sphinx has always given sound advice - but is he a traitor?

Inside the Quiet Box, Vanessa might have information that could lead to a cure - but can she be trusted? Meanwhile, Kendra and members of the Knights of the Dawn must journey to a distant preserve and retrieve another hidden artifact. Will the Society of the Evening Star recover it first? Will the plague eclipse all light at Fablehaven? Find out in Fablehaven: Grip of the Shadow Plague.

Critic reviews

"The Fablehaven series is generating buzz as a contender in the fantasy-adventure genre to replace the Harry Potter franchise." ( Hollywood Reporter)

"Like Harry Potter, Fablehaven can be read aloud in a family with as much pleasure for grownups as for children." (Orson Scott Card)

"Featuring plenty of heroism and hilarity, Fablehaven is rich in creatures, magic-working, and hard-fought battles." ( Kirkus Reviews)

We Loved It

My 8 & 6.5 yr old have been loving this series.l! We are in the car a lot and it has been a great series read by a very talented narrator.

Love the Fablehaven Books

The Fablehaven books and many other books by Brandon Mull have been favourites of mine since I was younger and now rereading them again they are just as good if not better than I remember them!

The shadow men

I really enjoyed the the dragon and I think the quiet box I think that Vanessa should be able to be out in the morning but she has to go back in the quiet box at night

Like the characters

Good storyline with a touch of reality. Not everybody makes it through lifes geeat struggles

loved it!

We love how the story is unfolding. It definitely gets more intense, there are more deaths in this book, so folks with younger ones be aware. Fantastic story!

A amazing book

This is another great book from the Fablehaven series. I have read it a lot, but it never seems to get less interesting. I think this is one of Brandon Mull’s best yet. As to the narrating, superb, E. B. Stevens makes the best little voices for each and every character.

loved it

super enthralled and am ready for book 4
always a good read always always

Exciting throughout.

Perfect for reading with my children. Wonderful action, adventure, and fantasy. No foul language.

Love Fablehaven!!! These books are fantastic fun!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This is a must for children or anyone for that matter. The whole series is a must read but this one in particular has a few of my favorite elements. The other magical creature preserve they visit is spectacular. The pacing is perfect, the descriptions really bring you there, this is a magical vacation. Now I'm just waiting for the rest of the series to come up.

What did you like best about this story?

It's fun and light and magical.

Which character – as performed by E. B. Stevens – was your favorite?

E. B. Stevens is not my favorite (sry) but favorite characters abound none the less. Patton is an obvious standout and the voice of the demon was well done.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Forget Hogwarts, leave Narnia behind the real adventure awaits at Fablehaven! (please god say they are making these into movies!)

Any additional comments?

Not to be missed.
