Examples:
If you owned your own invisibility glove like Seth, how would you use it today?

Create your own art: draw your own magical preserve. Include your home, landmarks, trees, trails, areas to avoid. Where is it located? What is it called?
Draw your family pet as if it were a guardian to a hidden, ancient artifact. What special power does your pet have to protect the treasure it is guarding?
Fans will also find coloring book pages, mazes, scavenger hunts, and instructions for origami creatues of Fablehaven characters like Raxtus!
My Review
This book is so fun! I guess, it's more of an activity book than an actual book, but very enjoyable nonetheless. Imagination is definitely a perfect way to describe this book. What a great way for kids to use their imaginations while doing the crafts and activities. There are fun crafts, coloring pages, activity pages, and thoughtful quotes throughout. I'm excited for my daughter to dive in to all the fun on our way to Grandma's for Thanksgiving.
Here is a fun video of Brandon Mull's daughter making the green slime from the book.
