Bookroo's summary

In the sweltering Florida sun, eleven-year-old Nicholas Vargas faces more than just family upheaval. When a lake expedition reveals a nixie with a fiery giant problem, Nick, his stepsister Laurie, and brother Julian must act fast. Can they prevent the giants from turning Florida into ashes, or will their world be consumed by chaos? Adventure and danger await as they race against time to save their home.

From the publisher

The Spiderwick Chronicles leave the old-fashioned charm of New England far behind and head south for some fiendish faerie fun in the hot Florida sun. Eleven-year-old Nicholas Vargas only thinks his life has been turned upside down after his developer father remarries and moves his new wife and daughter into the soon-to-be completed Mangrove Hollow.

But an “expedition” to a nearby lake turns up a little nixie with a giant problem - the huge, lumbering, fire-breathing variety - and it’s up to Nick; his stepsister, Laurie; and his big brother, Julian (plus a familiar face from the original Spiderwick Chronicles) to figure out the best way to stop a host of rampaging giants before all of Florida goes up in smoke.
