Fablehaven by Richard Mull.
This story was an entertaining escapade with fantasy creatures. The adventure for this brother and sister duo begins as they find themselves sent to the grandparents they hardly know. Upon arrival they are set up in their attic bedroom filled with assorted amusements and given a very clear set of rules designed to protect them. As expected one follows rules determinedly while the other constantly breaks them. The children learn that things are not normal at their grandparents' estate, staring with their missing Grandmother. As their learn more about the unusual home, they begin making choices that have serious consequences We learn that always following the rules can be just as detrimental as breaking them.In the story, as in real life, there must be a little bit of each.
