Summary: Faeries, Griffins and other "Mythical" Creatures...
Comment: ...can be found in this truly entertaining children's book. This is a quick and easy read for even the most stubborn of readers. I thourougly enjoyed it and can't wait for the next book. I am intrigued and entertained by the Grace children and their meetings with the "mythical" creatures.
The creatures may be myth to most, but the Grace children know the truth.
The illustrations are gorgeous and descriptive. You don't need any descriptions with Holly Black's wonderful writing, but Tony Di Terlizzi just makes this book more amazing than it already does.
All children should be able to have books like this available for them.

Summary: They've done it again, funer then Harry!
Comment: I read this book in two reads, ok so it's suppose to be a children's series, that doesn't keep adults from reading Harry Potter, now does it. This is a fun quick series, I like that you could read them in a few doctors visits... heck take all the kids to the dentist and finish this great story while you wait! Not all classics and books worth reading need to be 3" thick! Alot of ground is covered and the imagination is delighted! Now if we could just get the authors to write faster and WHY is there only going to be two more books, boo-hoo! Waiting on #4 already! Excited Teacher!

Summary: In Which a Most Exciting Foreshadowing Occurs
Comment: In The Seeing Stone, Jared made Thimbletack very angry when he lost his temper and stole the seeing stone from him. Poor Jared with his temper - it's always getting him into trouble. His temper has the family in discomfort now, as Thimbletack has gone from being a friendly brownie to a menacing boggart once more. Mallory believes that everything ties back directly to the book, and she counsels firmly that they get rid of it, but Jared will have nothing of it! He claims the book as his own.
But the overriding question still exists: why do faerie creatures want this book? The all decide that the best person to ask is Aunt Lucinda, even though she's been rooted off to a looney bin. They decide to visit her, and indeed learn a great deal (and this is another scene where the authors flex their creative muscles, showing why - regardless of any comparisons to L.S. - they're in a league of their own), but also discover, much to everyone's dismay (and Jared's anger - he blames Mallory and is ready to fight her!) that Arthur Spiderwick's book is GONE.
They then find a note instructing them to bring the book to a certain location, but before reaching that location run into a Phooka who says things to them that, while seemingly senseless riddles, are most assuredly not. If the reader is careful and listens to what the Phooka says, and to what the Elves say when they meet them (for it was Elves who left the note, asking for the book), they will see a potentially most exciting development.
Once again, a marvelous read, with brilliant illustrations. I'm very glad that I'm reading these books back to back, for they're absolutely delightful reads. (Disappointing, though, that I'll have to wait a few months for the final book!)
