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.

This was such a quick read, it was finished before I had time to really get settled! I don't read a lot of short children's book and this was the first I had done by audio. Mark Hamill is a fantastic narrator, and the book is interesting.

The Field Guide is definitely just setting you up for more to come, and even though they're children books... I'd like to see a little more plot in book 2.
