I loved Spiderwick when I was a kid. I don't remember the first two of the Beyond Spiderwick books too well but this is a cute story and a great intro to fantasy for younger readers.

Oh the end of The Spiderwick Chronicles.
I'll tell you this, I'm sadder to be leaving this world than my 9 (9! She had a birthday) is. I think the giants were too much for her. And I think the idea of the Hydra's may have been too much for her. She wasn't really all that interested in this one, to be honest. I don't think I was either. While I like all of the kids, I really didn't like the idea of the Wyrm King. Of all of the Fey out there, and all of the creatures this book could have been about, they picked a Hydra. So. That was kind of a let down for me, I suppose.
The story itself was still fun, and I loved the inclusion of the Grace kids. So I think that's where my stars come from. When I asked K why she's rating it three stars, she shrugged at me. I can only assume she just mostly enjoyed the story, and was happy to see Jared again. She connected with him and Mallory much more than she did with Nick and Laurie.

So stressful. Anything that involves possible death in a car… I’m sweating.

i had to force myself through this one. Maybe it's a bit too young adult for me.

A good ending to the story. Nice and happy with a bit of mystery. Laurie, Nick, and Jules pull together their family and fight for the balance of the faerie world with the Grace children. Nice little three book story but nothing that exciting.
