The Field Guide

By: Tony DiTerlizzi, Holly Black

Narrated by: Mark Hamill

After moving into their elderly aunt’s old house, three siblings experience unexplainable events and discover a magical new world in this first book in the Spiderwick Chronicles.

After finding a mysterious, handmade field guide in the attic of the ramshackle old mansion they’ve just moved into, Jared; his twin brother, Simon; and their older sister, Mallory, discover that there’s a magical and maybe dangerous world existing parallel to their own—the world of faerie.

The Grace children want to share their story, but the faeries will do everything possible to stop them...

Very cute

Cute kids story. Mark Hamill was almost there in terms of narration. He felt more comfortable with the roles by the end of the book which gives me hope for the future books -- which I've already purchased :)

Still as good as I remember!

I first read these as a kid after falling in love with the movie with it first came out, and coming back all these years to this story.. well it's just as good as I remember! Do yourself a favor, and get this!

it's MARK HAMILLLLL

I forgot how short these were but oh this is such a treat. kinda pricey for an hour long book but that's okay I got it on sale

all the little creatures in the mysteries of the house

I like the fact that it was read aloud and kept my interest. wish I could read the second book now

the characters are likable, the story is easy to follow.

it's an engaging story so far, the characters are likable and easy to follow. I highly recommend people read the 1st book of the spiderwick chronicles, I'm sure you enjoyed it.
