by Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black
It all started with a mysterious letter left at a tiny bookstore for authors Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black.
Its closing lines: "We just want people to know about this. The stuff that has happened to us could happen to anyone."
Little could they imagine the remarkable adventure that awaited them as they followed Jared, Simon, and Mallory Grace and a strange old book into a world filled with elves, goblins, dwarves, trolls, and a fantastical menagerie of other creatures. The oddest part is that in entering that world, they didn't leave this one!
Includes all five books in the first series:
-
The field guide
-
The Seeing Stone
-
Lucinda's secret
-
The Ironwood Tree
-
The wrath of Mulgarath
The Spiderwick books have all been New York Times bestsellers and have been made into a movie.
With their evocative gothic-style pencil drawings and color illustrations, rhyming riddles, supernatural lore, and well-drawn characters, these books read like old-fashioned ripping yarns.
