No bad language or compromising situations. Great for LONG car rides and family fun! Some scary moments. Great books for the 8 to 14 set that adults will also enjoy. You'll not miss the mark with Fablehaven 02 Rise of the Evening Star. If you love clean fantasy adventures in a truly magical world, great main characters and an interesting storyline.

The third book is one of my favorites, and I can hardly wait to listen to it. I'm listening to them all again at the same time as my son. I especially like his voices for the main characters. He does old and young voices well and they use some cool special effects for monsters and other voices. He drives me nuts sometimes, but somehow you forget about it when the story picks up. It is the same narrator as for the first book, so if you liked that you're fine. Warning: The narrator has a strange cadence, but you get used to it.

where are books 4 & 5? Hopefully, they get them soon.

I'm one of the people who has begged Audible to get these books because the CD's are truly atrocious. You honestly have to rename all of the hundreds of files to get it to play correctly on an ipod. They misname files, misname the book, change the name of the narrator and the whole numbering sequence of the files. I have them on CD already, but the CD versions are a NIGHTMARE to put into itunes. At the end he said in a frantic voice, 'Mom! Where is the third book?!' Hooray that Audible has them on their site now! I'm going to get them all. You can't believe how much work and summer-time math practice I got out of that boy, because I wouldn't let him have my ipod to listen to this book until he was done with school practice and chores.

My 9 year old son has just listened to this audiobook. The added characters, magical potions, magical artifacts and creatures are really cool. I really love seeing their thinking process and what their imaginations come up with for solutions to difficult problems. I like the fact that the kids make mistakes but learn from them. I love the imagined world in these books. While these books are geared toward children, they are really a lot of fun for any age. Perfect Fantasy Adventure Story for All Ages
