One day nine-year-old Jared discovers Arthur Spiderwick's Field Guide to the Fantastical World Around You in the upstairs attic, and his life changes forever. Despite the numerous warnings, Jared reads the book, and now he must keep the field guide out of harm's way, or else suffer the consequences.
