The Spiderwick Chronicles (Boxed Set): The Field Guide; The Seeing Stone; Lucinda's Secret; The Ironwood Tree; The Wrath of Mulgrath
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!Five captivating books! One thrilling adventure! Review About the Author Spiderwick Chronicles PERFECT!! Great, quick read.Product Details

New York Times Book ReviewWith their evocative gothic-style pencil drawings and color illustrations, rhyming riddles, supernatural lore, and well-drawn characters, these books read like old-fashioned ripping yarns.

I actually bought this as a gift, and I have not read the books myself. However, I was pleased with the presentation. The case and the books inside are very cute.
I searched this product at local book retailers and have discovered that the price of this collection of books was $50! After I saw it here on Amazon (for this awsome low price), it was a no brainer to purchase it here. Items were wrapped and product was new! Can't complain one bit!!!
I loved these books. I'm a big fantasy reader anyway, but they were wonderful. A cute, quick story. I finished them in about 2 days, but I'm a quick reader anyway.
This would be a great series for a child that likes to read fantasy. Or even an adult. Hey, I'm 22. xD
