Cute and creative and the right level of scary for a six year old. (  ) wmshub | Jul 22, 2009 | The second book in the Spiderwick Chronicles series. This is flying by. Each book so far has only taken me less than a couple hours to read. In The Seeing Stone, Simon is kidnapped and the other two go in search of him with the help of the seeing stone, a device that will help them see goblins and other mysterious creatures around their house. I’m very much enjoying this series and look forward to continuing. blondierocket | Jun 28, 2009 | This series is really cute and well written for the age group it targets. This second book has Jared and MAllory rescuing Simon from a band of Goblins. They encounter several interesting creatures along the way. The illustrations add to the fun! (  ) klarsenmd | May 14, 2009 | when jared gets home from school simon asks him if he would help him find his cat, but jared said no. Then jared looks out the window and sees his brother simon being tackeld by thin air and being dragged away. Jared looked in the book he got in the atic about magical creatures and he read you need the seeing stone to see all the creatures. after he found the seeing stone he when into the forest with mallory to look for simon. When the found him there was a goblin there waiting for someone to come beacuse he was in a cage like simon. he threatned to scream for the other goblins unlease they got him out of his cage to.

| Book description |
|
After making tentative peace with Thimbletack (a coveralled house brownie who's "the size of a pencil"), Jared chooses to ignore the creature's pleas that he destroy his great-great-uncle's mysterious tome, Arthur Spiderwick's Field Guide to the Fantastical World Around You. Thimbletack warns, "You kept the book despite my advice./Sooner or later there'll be a price." Sure enough, the brownie soon sniffs out a "fell smell in the air," and the disappearance of Simon's new cat starts to make sense. And if the chapter titled "IN WHICH Mallory Finally Gets to Put Her Rapier to Good Use" doesn't get your heart racing as fast as the kids', just wait till you get a load of the troll. ("Cooome baaack. I haaave something for youuu.")
The series' already-fast pace picks up quickly in the second installment, and we can begin to imagine what other sorts of trouble these three will turn up as they learn the rules to this odd (and dangerous) new world--while, of course, trying to explain away the strange goings-on to their mother. Next up, book three, Lucinda's Secret. (What's her secret? I want to know. Now! (Ages 6 to 10) --Paul Hughes
