Product Description
It all started with a mysterious letter left at a tiny bookstore for authors Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black. Its closing lines: "We just want people to know about this. The stuff that has happened to us could happen to anyone." Little could they imagine the remarkable adventure that awaited them as they followed Jared, Simon, and Mallory Grace and a strange old book into a world filled with elves, goblins, dwarves, trolls, and a fantastical menagerie of other creatures. The oddest part is in entering that world, they didn't leave this one!PIFive captivating books!P One thrilling adventure!PThe Spiderwick Chronicles/I

 Great way to pass the time! November 28, 2008

I too, like the other reviewers, have my questions about these books. It is simply written and a bit gory at times. But's what's with all the bickering? Sometimes you want to read books to get away from reality! Enough with the sibling rivelery already! br /If you want to get away from all that nonsense then try reading the Adventures With Boys series. But, if you like constant fighting then Spiderwick are the books for you! Enjoy!

Good books even for adults! November 15, 2008

Well i'm 38 and I totaly loved the books (5 in total). br /My only problem with the series was that I wished it would have been continued, but I guess all good things must come to an end. Don't worry about the intended audience the series aims at, go out and buy it or if you're uncomfortable order online via amazon, like I did!
 disappointing October 21, 2008
Hortensia (PalmSprings, CA United States)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I was interested to read these books, based on the reviews I read. I ordered the five volume set of the first five books, thinking I'd be able to settle in and read for a good long time. It was disappointing to receive a set of five tiny books, each containing one scant chapter. At a cost of over $5.00 each, this could be the most expensive children's book ever, once you read all the different volumes. So, not much of a story, and a rip-off if you look at value, which you should certainly look at. One of the many satisfying things about the Harry Potter books is that they are full books, some quite long, and very engrossing, even as a re-read.
Perfect Collection of Fantasy October 15, 2008
M. Duensing (Victorville, CA)
My husband and I saw the movie based on these books and became intrigued by the story. I immediately ordered the book collection after the movie ended. These books are very sweet with writing and illustrations that will lead any child into a wonderful world of fantasy. This collection would be a special reading experience for grandparents with their grandchildren but also for all parents who enjoy fantasy and want to introduce their children to the fun world of make believe.
