Product Description

Product Description
Beware, the faeries will use all their power to stop you from reading these books! In "Lucinda's Secret", things at the Grace residence are getting completely out of hand. As if being attacked by goblins and almost eaten by a bridge troll wasn't enough, now the house boggart, Thimbletack, is out to get Jared. Simon has a very hungry griffon recuperating in the carriage house, and Mallory is convinced that the only way to stop the madness is to get rid of the Guide...In "The Ironwood Tree", 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 children be left alone, now that the Guide has mysteriously disappeared? Don't count on it! This title has been written by Tony Diterlizzi and Holly Black, and read by Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker in "Star Wars").

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the Spiderwick Chronicles so far, 27 Jul 2004
By Chrestomanci (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Lucinda's Secret (Spiderwick Chronicles) (Hardcover)
'Lucinda's Secret' is the third book in the Spiderwick Chronicles - continuing from where Book 2 -'The Seeing Stone' left off.

The Grace children are in more danger than ever. Thimbletack their house-boggart has fallen out with nine year-old-Jared because he refuses to give him Arthur Spiderwick's old book containing the truth about the invisible faerie world - only now, it isn't invisible to the Grace kids any longer. A hobgoblin spat in their eyes, giving them 'the sight,' and now they see magical creatures that are invisible to their mother and everyone else. This is perhaps as well, as Jared's twin brother Simon is looking after an enormous injured griffin!

The old house that the Grace family live in belongs to their Great Aunt Lucinda - locked away in an insane asylum for refusing food and claiming she is fed by faeries. Jared realizes that their mad relative isn't perhaps as insane as people think - so he, Simon and Mallory visit her, to ask her advice about what they should do with the Field Guide. But when they return home they are in for an unpleasant surprise. This time their adventure involves a phooka, a unicorn and some beautiful yet sinister elves.

These little books are like something from a bygone era. The writing is a delight - but it is the illustrations that make them truly special. They are amply illustrated with fabulous 'Arthur Rackham' style pictures that will delight children from 8 to 80.

This book is the third in a series of five - about the strange, magical, and decidedly dangerous inhabitants of the invisible faerie world that surrounds us. The Spiderwick Chronicles continue with: Book 4 - 'The Ironwood Tree.'

2.0 out of 5 stars The Chronicles of James Horner - Prince Casper?, 22 May 2008
By G. A. Kester "gk_uk" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Spiderwick Chronicles (Horner) (Audio CD)
James Horner has for a long time been known for his re-use of his own materials, and allusions to those of other composers. When he first appeared on the big stage with scores like Star Trek: Wrath of Khan and Krull, he was a fresh and exciting voice - an obvious master of melody and action, adept at deploying a large orchestra to its best advantage. He had the potential to be the next Jerry Goldsmith.

Sadly, over the years Horner has taken the easy route of simply rehashing much of his own output, with the same old chords and motifs repeated add-infinitum from score to score. On rare occasions, usually it seems when he has to work fast, he offers a brief taste of his former potential, such as the wonderfully aggressive and melodic Troy (which was a last minute replacement for a score by Gabriel Yared, and at last offered a great variation on his ubiquitious "danger" motif).

Most of the time though, his scores feel tired and lazy. The Spiderwick Chronicles is a case in point. For the bulk this is merely Horner scoring action and adventure by the numbers, interwoven with a delicate theme that is straight out of his score for Casper. His primary theme, however, and this is probably coincidence, is remarkably close to that of Lawrence Rosenthal's underrated score to the dud disaster film Meteor.

Fans of Horner will no doubt find ways to defend another run of the mill effort. As for me, I was listening to the 2CD version of Krull the other day and the comparison of that to this just makes me sad.

5.0 out of 5 stars The children meet Aunt Lucy, 21 April 2005
By bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Lucinda's Secret (Spiderwick Chronicles) (Hardcover)
By now you have figured out that the Spiderwick Chronicles are actually one story split over several books much as the Tolkien story is not a trilogy but a one story split over three books.

In the last book we see that the children made up a lame excuse for their foray into the magical world around them.

Now they wonder why the Field Guide is of interest to every one and go to Aunt Lucinda for answers. As you recall Aunt Lucinda is in the Nut house, oops, rest home for eccentrics. They get more than they planned on.

We follow them as they discover the mystery of the missing Arthur Spiderwick. The adventure has a sort of Alice feel.

Be he alive or be he dead
They think they know
Which way Arthur fled.
