Description
#1 New York Times best-selling author Brandon Mull returns to Fablehaven with a brand-new story starring the comedic satyrs, Newel and Doren, and their battle against a gorgon. Satyrs Newel and Doren are maturing into more responsible citizens after helping put an end to the dragon rebellion. But the thought of growing out of adolescence has the two goatmen in crisis mode. If that isn't enough to worry about, a few unlucky inhabitants of Fablehaven have been found petrified, turned to stone, show more including fellow satyrs. Could this new threat be the workings of a dangerous gorgon?Newel and Doren become intrigued after an informant divulges information about a legendary Listening Doll—a talisman with the power to reveal the antidote for any magical malady—hidden somewhere in the Florida swamplands. If the mystical doll can solve any problem, maybe she has the answer of how to turn back the clock, so they won't have to grow up.
Perhaps a trip to Florida is just what Newel and Doren need to get their mojo in time to win the annual Satyr Games. Two new challengers, Barrett and Hoff, are talking smack about dethroning Newel and Doren as perennial champions. And the new opponents have a smartphone!
Finding the Listening Doll and saving Fablehaven is important, sure. But Newel and Doren are also desperate for a smartphone of their own. Let the adventure and the games begin!

Step back into the world of Fablehaven with these two delightful satyr sidekicks! Two of my favorite side character cousins, Newel & Doren get a story all their own & I was definitely here for it. I loved the humor, friendship, & the growth these two undergo as they try to defeat a formidable foe & win the Satyr Games.
Newel & Doren hate to lose, but that’s what seems to be happening when a couple of upstarts steal their thunder at the Satyr Games. They even have new tech which Newel & Doren definitely need. But, while these two fun loving adolescents plot to win the prank war side of the games, they find themselves needing to step up & be the heroes when they find several friends turned to stone by a Gorgon. Will they be able to save show more their friends from this petrifying enemy before it’s too late?
I thoroughly enjoyed being plunged back into the Fablehaven world. My kids & I loved reading the Fablehaven series & Doren & Newel were some of our favorite comic relief characters. It was so fun seeing them grow & mature as they seek out a new adventure & become the heroes. Their humor & delightful way of problem solving pulled me right in & I enjoyed seeing their mostly slacker ways turned around.
There are some enchanting new characters added to this universe including salamanders, a listening doll, & swamp hags! I loved listening to each of these fabulous new additions via the audiobook. If you have a chance to listen, highly recommend! The narrator does a fantastic job bringing each of these characters to life. He made the story even more engaging with his fabulous voices.
Brandon Mull has a unique way of blending humor, adventure, & fun with profound messages of courage, strength, friendship, & not giving up. The Gorgon’s Fury has some fabulous themes & messages for middle graders & up.
Highly recommend this delightful new addition to the Fablehaven world & look forward to more adventures with these two lovable satyrs! I received an advanced complimentary copy from the publisher. All opinions are completely my own & voluntarily provided. show less
