By Ben

The authors of this book are Tony Di Terlizzi and Holly Black. There are three siblings and their names are Jared, Simon and Mallory. Simon gets kidnapped by goblins while he is playing in the yard. Then Jared and Mallory have to save Simon. They find all different types of creatures along the way.

The main character of the story is Jared. It takes place in the present in a small town. The topic of the story is fairies, trolls and goblins. I think the authors are trying to say you never know what will exist or what will happen.

My favorite part is when they find Simon. The book is surprising. People who are 9-10 and like fairies and trolls would like this book.

This book rocks. They finally put goblins and creepy things in The Spiderwick Chronicles. This book is about Mallory, Jared, and Simon finding something called the seeing stone. The seeing stone lets you see trolls and goblins that you can't see without it. Simon gets taken away by goblins and after Jared and Mallory find him they meet a hobgoblin named Hogsqeal. The best thing about this book is because it is like an adventure. My favorite part is when Simon finds a kitten in a cage near a goblin camp. My favorite character of this book is Thimbletack because he talks funny. The thing I don't like about this book is that it's not something you would read at bed time. I think everyone should read this book.

. . . wonder what is lurking in those woods or inside our walls. Very enjoyable storytelling with enough realism to make you question, did I see that or was it my imagination? The short format makes it easy to quickly get involved, but not too involved which would be easy to do. The books make you question whether or not you believe in fairies. After reading the first two books in the Chronicles, I am not sure what I believe. The illustrations are wonderfully detailed and add much to the story. This book will be an excellent addition to any storybook collection.
