Includes: Book 1: The Field Guide; Book 2: The Seeing Stone
The Field Guide sets up the story of the Grace children—13-year-old Mallory and 9-year-old twins Jared and Simon—who with their mother move into the dilapidated Spiderwick Estate only to quickly find themselves sucked into a dark and fascinating world of faeries.
In the Spiderwick Chronicles' second book, The Seeing Stone things get even more exciting—and kind of scary—for the Grace kids, as the strange faerie world hinted at in The Field Guide blooms to full life around them. When Mallory and Jared attempt to rescue Simon from goblins, they use a magical stone which enables them to see things that are normally invisible.
Jared, Simon, and Mallory Grace have moved into their crazy Aunt Lucinda's old house. The floors are rotting in places, and weird sounds abound. When Jared finds Uncle Arthur Spiderwick's Field Guide to sundry fairy creatures, the adventures really begin. Light on humor, heavy on suspense and mystery, these tales will be enjoyed by Lemony Snicket and Coraline fans. Hank Jacobs is a perfect fit for the story; his pace is easy, and his voice is a great blend of youthfulness and subtlety. Many will be hooked and left eagerly awaiting the second audio volume.
