Last night I finished reading this book to my daughter Haille. We can’t wait to get book two to find out what happens. Jared, Simon and Mallory move into their great aunt Lucy Spiderwick’s house after their father leaves them. The house is huge, but falling apart. Immediately the kids start noticing a scratching sound in the walls. Upon further inspection they find some kind of creature has built a home in the wall of the kitchen. Mallory busts open the wall to remove the creature’s belongings. Later that night she is tormented while she sleeps. Of course their mom doesn’t believe them, so the kids are on their own to figure things out. Secret hiding places, faeries, magical books, tricksters…this book will keep you flipping through pages!
