First a pack of 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 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, and it's not Simon. To make matters even worse, now Mallory has disappeared and something foul in the water is killing off all the plants and animals for miles around.

And the faerie world's abuzz with the news that a creature with plans to rule the world has offered them a gift to join with him -- he's given them a queen...

My little brother wants to read more "mystical" books after we finish The Spiderwick Chronicles. Sort of in the same as Tolkien and CS Lewis. He likes fanciful creatures and adventure. Any recommendations? (PS, we've decided A Wrinkle in Time is more science and less fantasy, so while we will be reading it at some point, just not quite yet.)

mom2bugnbee How old is he? Old enough for middle grade books? If so, what about the Percy Jackson series? They're mythology-based, so not exactly the same, but they're wonderful. 8y
mom2bugnbee And, again, if he is old enough for middle grade books, the Artemis Fowl series is also fabulous. And if he's a bit younger, my daughter read The Sisters Grimm series in 4th & 5th grade & loved them (a boy would like them as well). 8y
levi @mom2bugnbee he is 8. I'm not sure if Percy would be a good choice for him though... 8y
