Publisher Description

The Grace children turn to Great-Aunt Lucinda for help in this repackage of the third book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Spiderwick Chronicles.

As if being attacked by goblins and a bridge troll weren’t enough, Jared is now being targeted by Thimbletack. Simon is keeping an injured and very hungry griffin hidden in the carriage house. And Mallory is convinced the only way to get things back to normal is to get rid of the Guide. But that doesn’t seem to be an option. With more creatures from Arthur Spiderwick’s Field Guide to the Fantastical World Around You popping up, the Guide seems to be the only protection the Grace kids have. But why do the faeries want it so badly? There’s only one person to go to for answers—crazy, old Aunt Lucinda!

In honor of the tenth anniversary of the #1 New York Times bestselling Spiderwick Chronicles series, which has more than 12 million copies in print worldwide, this edition of Lucinda’s Secret features a larger trim size and an original cover with all-new art from Tony DiTerlizzi.

"This series is composed of five books that are all a continuation of the same story. Each book is a quick 30 minute read for an adult, but the story is a fun tale full of fairies and ogres and beautiful sketches. This set is particularly good for mid-elementary aged children. The first book is called The Field Guide."

    " I listened to this on CD while traveling across the country on our latest trip, and I have to say that part of what kept me interested was the narrator (Mark Hamill). He was incredible. I enjoyed the books, but wouldn't recommend them for young children. "

    " What a delicious romp. Not only fun to read, but fun to hold, with illustrations, font, and design matching the tone and tenor of the text. Holly Black and Tony deTerlizzi are an inspired pairing, and these books are just right to gobble like bonbons. I hope the movie does it justice. "

    " Actually, picked up the "Completely Fantastical" edition (all five books in one hardcover, with bonus chapters and artwork). I thought I'd read it before I give it to my 9-year-old niece. The entire series was great fun (I would have loved it at her age) and well written. "

    " Really fun romp through faerie. Warning that the first book is a bit terrifying (the illustrations of a doll's head in the wall and Mallory's hair tied to her headboard, particularly)...but it didn't stop me. The books are short, quick reads with lots of gorgeous illustrations. "
