Five captivating books! One thrilling adventure!
The Grace children—nine-year-old twins, Jared and Simon, and their thirteen-year-old sister, Mallory—move with their mother into their uncle's decrepit house, 'Spiderwick Estate'. Soon the children encounter mysterious goings on: Mallory’s hair gets mysteriously knotted to the headboard of her bed; Simon’s tadpoles are frozen into an ice-cube tray. The house and yard are teeming with faeries, ogres, brownies, griffins, trolls and goblins!
The children discover an ancient hand-written book with information on faeries, hidden inside a chest in the attic, and befriend an excitable brownie named Thimbletack. So starts their magical adventure in a world of creatures they never knew existed!
