When the Grace children go to stay at their Great Aunt Lucinda's worn Victorian house, they discover a field guide to fairies and other creatures and begin to have some unusual experiences.
fyrefly98: Very similar stories (kids in a creepy old house learn to see magical creatures all around them), although I think Fablehaven skews just a little older than the Spiderwick Chronicles.
I read these sometime last spring, guess I forgot to log that here. I had already seen and enjoyed the movie, but the books fleshed out the story a bit more and had cute illustrations. Definitely seem like a good choice to keep in mind for eventual offspring! ( )
The Spiderwick Chronicles was a name I heard often in my youth, but I never found the actual book. I picked this book up not too long ago at a charity book sale. I decided it was time to see what all the fuss was about.
I can easily see this book, one that is full of faeries and folklore, to be a great book for young readers and early middle grade readers. There's the perfect mix of fun, mystery, and hijinks that most kids will find relatable. The story is fairly simple - a family moves into an old, creepy house and odd things start happening. The Grace kids, Jared, Simon, and Mallory, soon find a hidden library with Arthur Spiderwick's encyclopedia on oddities - faeries and other folklore. This book is just the introduction to more fantasy to come.
I liked it! It was an easy read and very fun. It felt too much like an introduction at times, but there was conflict, problem solving, and a resolution to make it a full story. If I ever find the second, I'll continue reading out of pure curiousity.
