The Grace children, of course, suspected that moving from their New York apartment to their great-aunt's country estate would change their lives. But they had no idea how amazing these changes would turn out to be. The dilapidated old house gave its new residents a chilly welcome, and on the very first night, the children discovered a mysterious hiding place in the wall. And then a real secret room, where eighty years ago Arthur Spiderwick, the estate's former owner, had hidden an extraordinary book. Upon opening it, the children learned that nearby—and not just nearby, but right here, in this very house!—lived creatures that the whole world believed were merely figments of old fairy tales. Griffins, goblins, hobgoblins, elves and dwarves, trolls and forest spirits! This discovery led to a series of incredible encounters, thrilling adventures, and perilous predicaments. Although many faerie creatures are quite charming and peaceful, there are others that are best never encountered. And one such monster has been plotting to seize Arthur Spiderwick's book at any cost for eighty years now…
