Bookroo's summary

In a creaky old mansion, the Grace siblings—Jared, Simon, and Mallory—uncover a mysterious field guide that unveils a hidden faerie realm. As they delve deeper, they realize this magical world is fraught with danger. The faeries, determined to keep their existence secret, will stop at nothing to silence the children. With their lives intertwined with the secrets of the faerie world, the Grace children must navigate this perilous adventure. Will they manage to share their incredible story, or will the faeries succeed in keeping their world hidden forever?

From the publisher

The Grace children discover the faerie world is closer than you think in this repackage of the first book in the #1 New York Times bestselling 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 our own—the world of faerie.

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

In honor of the tenth anniversary of the #1 New York Times bestselling Spiderwick Chronicles series, which has more than 12 million copies in print worldwide, this edition of The Field Guide features a larger trim size and an original cover with all-new art from Tony DiTerlizzi.
