Welcome to Litsy!

#TBRPile 📚 It all started when Jared Grace found Great-uncle Arthur‘s Field Guide and the Grace kids realised they were not alone in their new house. Now Mallory, Simon, and Jared want to tell their story but it seems that the faeries will do everything in their power to stop them...

Quick, fun read

“And all these entries...all of these things are real? Jared, that‘s a lot of real”

I enjoyed the swiftness of the plot of this book. I also enjoyed the fact that the author chose to put illustrations to give the reader visuals of what they are writing about

This is a story about the grace family who moves into a new home that used to belong to their great aunt. As soon as they move in a lot of weird things begin to happen to them. This book begins the tale of three children who try and figure out what is happening to them and how they can stop it.

It wasn't really though. It was more like a dozen shacks had been piled on top of one another. There were several chimneys, and the whole thing was topped off by a strip of iron fence sitting on the roof like a particularly garish hat."

I thought that this book was ok for the only because of the storyline and plot of this story. I liked the sketches throughout the book.

Modern fantasy and was written in 2003. This book is about three children who move with their mom to a new haunted house. It begins with the children moving to their new home and finding out something else lives with them. They find a book about mystical creatures that shows the disappearances of their great uncle and father.

Not a quote from the reading but I really liked this acknowledgement.

I loved the sketched looking illustrations throughout the book. I think it really fits the theme of these books.

I used to love these books when I was little! I could never put them down! I love how the stories are so interesting but it is an easy read for kids so it‘s not too intimidating.

Start at the beginning and I totally missed this series. Don‘t know how I managed to never read it.

Cute series. I would have loved this as a kid who wanted to find all the faeries! The first book is a set up for the rest of the series so it‘s a little slower paced. #librarybook
#readharderchallenge - myth or folklore

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️My mum was recently decluttering, and gave me a whole container of my old books that she bought me growing up. I absolutely loved this series as a child, and I decided to do a read through of it - I don‘t really remember too much about it, so it‘s like I‘m reading it for the first time. Holly Black is such an enchanting writer, and I love how she wrote the characters in this series. The folklore is fantastic.

I never read The Spiderwick Chronicles as a kid but I always wanted to, so now I‘m going to listen to the whole series on audiobook. And they‘re narrated by Mark Hamill!!!

I can't wait to finish this series!

Read this short book to my little siblings. I've read it twice before. Definitely simplistic, but the artwork and fantastical imagination of it is quite wonderful. Add to your tbr stack!

Reading this out-loud to my little siblings.

Got this little guy online for only like $2! Gonna knock him out today, very exited to start this because it was one of my favorite series as a kid ❤️❤️

I've been boning up on elementary fiction since getting a new job as a school librarian for 3-5 grade. As I read the last page I wondered how I haven't read these books before and why I didn't bring all 5 home with me at once! Any other gems I should be reading to prepare for the best job ever?
