The Field Guide by Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black.
Youth Fiction - Lower Level - SPIDERWICK
Young Mallory, Simon, and Jared Grace have just moved into their old Great Aunt Lucinda’s home, and strange situations are occurring. For example, one night Mallory’s hair is tied to her bed. Another time, the kitchen is turned upside down during the middle of the night. While their mother blames Jared, he and his siblings soon find out that these mysterious circumstances can be explained by the magical world of faeries. This world is “closer than you think” and sets the intriguing The Spiderwick Chronicles series into motion.
The first of the five books in The Spiderwick Chronicles series, The Field Guide, is written in simple yet wonderfully descriptive prose and is an enjoyable read for all ages. Moreover, the books in the series are uniquely packaged with black and white photos and riddled passages. Who doesn’t feel intrigued or excited by the idea of a magical world all around you? If you want to enter this world, then you should pick up a copy of The Field Guide and get lost in all things imagination!
