A 17-year-old avid reader who lives two doors down from me lent me her copies of
The Spiderwick Chronicles by Tony DeTerlizzi and Holly Black
. These 5 books follow Jared, Simon, and Mallory Grace, three kids who move to a new house where some old relatives used to live. Once they arrive, they come across an old field guide about faeries and other creatures and realize that they are in the midst of these creature--who all want the guide book.
This was a fun series. It really seems like it should be just one book--but I think it was purposefully split into five, probably to make it more manageable for the young readers it is written for. The books were super, super quick reads with lots of action and well-defined characters.
Rating: * * (2/3 = Liked it)
