Stuff changes into other stuff a lot in Fablehaven. Humans change into chickens, or mutant-walruses, or humans who are no longer quite normal and can see magical critters without having first consumed special milk. Fairies change into imps (and back again), and both fairies and imps alike can go from tiny and wee to human-sized.
Inner transformations happen too, like when Seth and Kendra become closer since the experience of being at the preserve is totally unique and teaches them some life lessons (though it's debatable whether Seth will ever learn to be less impulsive and rule-breaky). Bottom line? Transformation's pretty important to the story in Fablehaven. Chew on that, young Jedi.
Questions About Transformation
- Which transformation seems the most traumatic in the story, and why?
- If you were Kendra, would you be worried about the fact that you suddenly sprouted the ability to see mystical creatures unaided?
- Do you think Grandpa should have told the kids about Grandma being transformed into a chicken?
- Why do you think Lena struggles against becoming a naiad again?
Chew on This
Magical transformations are just a part of daily life at Fablehaven.
In Fablehaven, the power to transform humans into other shapes, or to mess with the size of fairies, is dangerous, and shouldn't be messed with.
