Long ago Jared Grace's great, great uncle, Arthur Spiderwick, discovered a world of fantastical creatures. He recorded all his amazing findings in a field guide and hid it well. For years it was guarded safely and hardly anyone knew it even existed - until the Grace children moved into the old, abandoned Spiderwick Estate. One day while nine-year-old Jared Grace is exploring his new house he discovers Arthur Spiderwick's field guide hidden deep within the upstairs attic and meets his first fantastical creature, the house brownie named Thimbletack. Once the Grace children open their eyes to the fantastical world of sprites, goblins and faeries, there's no turning back. Now it's up to them to keep the field guide out of harm's way or else they must suffer the consequences...Experience the movie all over again by reading the whole story of The Spiderwick Chronicles in this movie storybook, complete with full-colour images from the movie!
