Editorial Review:
The Spiderwick Chronicles leave the old-fashioned charm of New England far behind and head south for some fiendish faerie fun in the hot Florida sun. Eleven-year-old Nicholas Vargas only thinks his life has been turned upside down after his developer father remarries and moves his new wife and daughter into the soon-to-be completed Mangrove Hollow.
But an "expedition" to a nearby lake turns up a little nixie with a giant problem - the huge, lumbering, fire-breathing variety - and it's up to Nick; his stepsister, Laurie; and his big brother, Julian (plus a familiar face from the original Spiderwick Chronicles) to figure out the best way to stop a host of rampaging giants before all of Florida goes up in smoke.

Magical Eleven-year-old Nicholas Vargas has had to make a lot of adjustments since his mother died and their father remarried. For one thing, he has to give up his bedroom to his new stepsister, Laurie. Nicholas doesn't have a lot of patience with Laurie, especially since she believes fairies are real.

Fans of The Spiderwick Chronicles will be thrilled to discover this brand-new cycle of the New York Times bestselling series Nicholas Vargas is not at all happy about having a new stepsister, especially since Laurie is now in his bedroom and he is sharing a room with his aloof older brother, Julian. He is not amused when Laurie suggests that they search outside for faeries, which (of course) he does not believe in. Imagine his shock when he comes across a type of faery called a nixie. This particular nixie is in trouble because she is far from her pond. She can't survive out of water, so Laurie and Nick rescue her by hauling her... more info
A Kids Review I'm 9 yrs old and I think this is a good book. I think that other people will like it also.
My Favorite Spiderwick..... I've read all the Spiderwick Chronicles, good books, good stories and great characters. I bought this just for the sake of reading them all. At first, after I realized that they changed the characters, added some new ones. I was thinking about how good the first series was and how much I didn't like the new one. Wrong, this book is great. The story really kicks in, Jared and Simon show up eventually and the story ends well. Great first book, in the second series!
