These three are short, but they were so woven to be one story, that I'm giving them only one review. They are beyond adorable. I adore them and I want to have them for my kids.

And I love how all the races are done, the words in each of them, and how they connect. And the art! How can I not tell you about the art! Half of the fun of moving on through any of the stories is the art that's everywhere, brightening everything.

I love Mallory, Jared and Simon in their own ways, and I love how completely un-cliche they each are really. I'm looking forward to getting the rest of Beyond the Spiderwick Chronicles one day too! ( )

Book 4 of 5 of the amazing series Spiderwick Chronicles! A shame they omitted this one from the movie entirely. Read my review of the series here, as this review applies to every book in the series. https://www.librarything.com/work/62473/reviews/227972510 ( )

When Mallory Grace is kidnapped, her twin brothers search for her near an old quarry among dwarves and goblins.

De los tres niños Grace, Jared (Freddie Highmore) siempre ha sido el más problemático. Así que cuando empiezan a suceder una serie de cosas extrañas tras la mudanza de su familia a la antigua hacienda de un pariente, la hermana Mallory (Sarah Bolger), su hermano Simon y su madre piensan que Jared está detrás de lo sucedido. Sin embargo, unas criaturas mágicas rondan el lugar, y todos desean un libro que Jared encontró: una guía a las criaturas salvajes de Arthur Spiderwick.
