DiTerlizzi, Tony. The Spiderwick Chronicles Books 1, 2, and 3. NY: Scholastic, 2003. 320 pages. (Fantasy Series)
The main characters in The Spiderwick Chronicles, Book 1, 2, and 3 are Jared and Simon, twins; and Mallory, their older sister. These stories took place in an old mansion and a forest. The problems they face in the first book are that a creature called a brownie is terrorizing them because they found a book. When they find that book, they disturb its home. In the second book, the problem is that goblins kidnapped Simon, and they have to rescue him. In the third novel, they try to find out if Arthur Spiderwick is still alive. They solve the problem in book one by building it a new home. In the second one, they solve the problem by going to the goblin’s camp and sneaking past them to rescue Simon. In the third book , they solve the problem by visiting their aunt Lucinda who was Arthur spider wicks niece. Interesting things that happen in these novels are they find a troll, a unicorn, an elf, a magical shape shifter called a phooka. These novels are well designed, action packed fun reading books. I really like this series because its pictures are good. Its cover is cool too.
