Spiderwick Chronicles #04: The Ironwood Treeby Tony Diterlizzi
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments: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. Clues point to the old abandoned quarry, just outside of town. Dwarves have taken over an abandoned mine there. 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... Review:"With 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." -- New York Times Book Review Review:"The books wallow in their dusty Olde Worlde charm: Faeries! Dumbwaiters! Attics! But then, reading has an old-fashioned charm too." -- Time magazine Review:"Appealing characters, well-measured suspense and an inviting package will lure readers...Youngsters may well find themselves glancing over their shoulders." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review Synopsis:First a pack of vile, smelly goblins snatches Simon. Then a band of elves tries to entrap Jared. Maybe now that Arthur Spiderwick's Field Guide to the Fantastical World Around You has disappeared, the Grace kids will be left alone. Don't bet on it. At school, someone is running around pretending to be Jared, and it's not Simon. To make matters even worse, Mallory has disappeared. Clues point to the abandoned quarry just outside of town. The dwarves have a mine there and they've captured a proper tribute for a king who is part of a plan to rule the world — they have found him a queen.
