Overview

This series tells the story of Kendra and Seth, two siblings who go on vacation to their grandparent’s mysterious nature reserve.  They soon discover that there is more there than meets the eye, and that the preserve is filled with magical creatures.  But the park holds a dark secret which Kendra and Seth must struggle to bring to light.  This is an amazing read, and one of Reed’s personal favorites.
