The Field Guide

In *The Field Guide* by Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black, the first book in **The Spiderwick Chronicles**, three siblings stumble into a hidden world that sits right alongside our own. This is a fast-paced **children’s fantasy** packed with eerie discoveries, sharp humour and just enough danger to keep pages turning.

When Jared, Simon and Mallory Grace move into a crumbling old mansion, they find a strange, handmade field guide tucked away in the attic. Curiosity turns into alarm as the book reveals the existence of faerie creatures—and it’s clear some of them would rather stay secret. As the Grace kids piece together the rules of this new world, they realise the house (and the guide) may be at the centre of something bigger than they imagined.

Perfect for middle-grade readers who love **magical creatures**, secret histories, illustrated adventures and quick chapters, especially fans of modern fairy lore.

Step into Spiderwick and see what’s been watching from the edges all along.
