Review
This is the first book of the second Spiderwick series. I never read the previous books in the series. It is hard how the fairy world was developed. I think have there are too little details about the fairy world. I think add little more details or creatures, and the fairy world atmosphere will be strong. I think it is kind of weak now, but I am interested on seeing how the story develop as they find fairies. I liked the part when the authors added themselves into part of the story. It seems real.
