Come into the world of Spiderwick where creature's abound and children walk with them.
The attention-grabbing nature of this story is suspenseful and funny. With character-duos moving quickly through this fast paced narrative. Detailed, textured and charming black and white illustrations line the pages of the story.
Nicholas Vargas moves with his family to Mangrove Hollow and he feels everything is changing and not in a good way. During a trip to a lake in the area a "nixie" (who is fire-breathing!) asks Nick for help. With his stepsister and his big brother an adventure like no other begins in the sweaty, hot setting of Florida. They then try to stop giants from ruining Florida!
Tonu DiTerlizzi comes back with a follow up series to the Spiderwick Chronicles. His illustrations are detailed and magical adding a nice touch to the mysterious story.
