My daughter and I have returned to the Spiderwick Chronicles, and we're happy to be here.
K doesn't really like Nick, but she loves Laurie, so it balances out. She loved Taloa and the way she sing songs everything she says, I however, really struggled to read those parts out loud, haha.
I like that these books are a little bit longer than the original Spiderwick books, so they feel like they have a bit more story to them.
We read through this one pretty quick, and we like it. It's a fun series, I love the history behind the giants, and I'm excited to learn more. K wants more mermaids.

One of the few instances that proves a spin off series can live up to the standards fortified by the original series. I will also always be a sucker for large emotions being a character within a work. Although I personally don’t consider this commensurate in quality to the original series, it still a really fun jaunt.

Not as good as the original. The bickering between Laurie and Nick gets annoying. The story line is not bad though and I am a sucker so I will probably polish off this series (it is only three books) and see where it goes.
