Publisher Description

The faerie world is in pursuit of the Grace kids in this repackage of the fourth book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Spiderwick Chronicles.

First a pack vile, smelly goblins snatch Simon. Then a band of elves try to entrap Jared. Why is the entire faerie world so eager to get their hands on Arthur Spiderwick’s Guide? And will the Grace kids be left alone, now that the Guide has mysteriously disappeared? Don’t count on it.

At school, someone is running around pretending to be Jared. To make matters even worse, now Mallory has disappeared and something in the water is killing off the plants and animals. Clues point to the abandoned quarry just outside of town where the dwarves have taken over. Meanwhile, the faerie world’s abuzz with the news that a creature with plans to rule the world has offered the dwarves a gift to join with him: a queen.

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 The Ironwood Tree features a larger trim size and an original cover with all-new art from Tony DiTerlizzi.

"These books are very special to me as I poured over them, the spin-off series (Beyond The Spiderwick Chronicles) and the supplementary materials (including the actual Field Guide) when I was younger. However, it is true that they are not fantastically written, but I love them all the same."

    " I liked this book. It was a great continuation and has that cliff hanger like ending that makes you yearn for book 5. Which I will be reading soon. "

    " Definitely some mid-read editing of certain language. Nothing outrageous, just some "stupids" and "hates" that I'd rather hear later rather than sooner from my 5 year old. Since she's younger than the intended audience, not a big deal. Some suspense and illustrations that were a bit much for the 5 y/o as well, but overall an exciting read. "

    " I wish this book was longer. I wanted to be taken away to some faraway magial place for a while, and it was just briefly. This book was way too short. Imaginative, but waaayyy too short. "

    " Lots of cool imagery. Dwarf caverns are always fun, if not entirely original. I just used "fun" in three reviews in a row. But that's really the best word to describe this series. Not brilliant, but fun. "

    " This book is the darkest of the four so far. It is good but not as enjoyable as the rest. It loses some of its innocent appeal and adventure. Still this is a great read aloud. Onward we go toward book number five. "

    " Well, the violence has arrived. The last two pages or so of book 4 had a very gruesome scene....poor dwarves. Not so sure my 9 year old will be reading this one. I'll have to read book 5 first and then decide. "
