The Spiderwick Chronicles #1: The Field Guide

by Black

The Grace children discover the faerie world is closer than you think in this repackage of the first book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Spiderwick Chronicles.

After finding a mysterious, handmade field guide in the attic of the ramshackle old mansion they've just moved into, Jared; his twin brother, Simon; and their older sister, Mallory, discover that there's a magical and maybe dangerous world existing parallel to our own--the world of faerie.

The Grace children want to share their story, but the faeries will do everything possible to stop them...

In honor of the tenth anniversary of the #1 New York Times bestselling Spiderwick Chronicles series, which has more than 12 million copies in print worldwide, this edition of The Field Guide features a larger trim size and an original cover with all-new art from Tony DiTerlizzi.

We just read this, as a family, while camping. We gathered our kids and the kids of the family we were camping with and read and roasted marshmallows. The kids loved sitting there, all of us taking turns, reading the book. I made a blunder and saw the movie before reading the books. Of course, the books are better, and my kids even agreed with me that they liked the book better. Now they want us to read the rest of the books.
