Summary:
Jared, Simon and Mallory all move with their mom to an old Spiderwick Estate that has been in their family for many generations. While fooling around one night they find a secret library. In it they find a field guide that explains the magical world around them. They meet a brownie named Thimbletack who causes a lot of mischief around the house, and Jared always gets blamed for it. This is a novel, but there are a few pictures interspersed throughout it. They are just pencil sketches finshed in pen, but I love it when one of them comes up.
My Reaction:
These book are definitely different, but I really like them. They are a super easy read, it took me about an hour to read one, but they are action packed and create a lot of excitement.
Potential Problems:
Jared lies and is a trouble maker, so kids might copy him. Other than that, there isn't any potential problems.
Recommendations:
I think children would love this book! It would be a great read aloud for any age, and anybody who reads it alone will still be able to enjoy it!
