Fablehaven Chapter 11 Summary

Aftermath

  • The house is a total wreck, and someone's on the lawn. It's Dale… except he's been turned into a statue.
  • No sign of Grandpa or Lena, but then Kendra and Seth remember that they haven't had any milk, so they might be missing some supernatural critters. The fridge has been flipped, but some of the bottles inside remain unbroken.
  • There's a weird, loud sound coming from somewhere nearby, but they can't manage to follow it. On to plan B.
  • The kids decide to venture out to look for their grandfather, and they find some large bird-like tracks to follow into the forest. After losing the trail, they climb a hill to try to get their bearings.
  • Then they see smoke coming from nearby the hill, as though someone's cooking, so they walk up and see what looks like a well, with a bucket dipping underground. Strangely, the bucket's full of stew.
  • Before they can stuff their faces, a man with goat legs walks up—a satyr—and he accuses them of spoiling his operation and dashes back into the bushes.
  • Seth and Kendra follow, just in time to escape notice of a misshapen old woman who waddles up to check on her pot. The satyr tells them that she's an ogress.
  • After Seth and Kendra follow the satyr (named Doren) to safety and meet his buddy (Newel), they ask for help finding their grandpa. The satyrs are flaky though, so no luck there—and the kids head back to the house.
