The Seeing Stone The Spiderwick Chronicles Book 2
Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi
Simon and Schuster
ISBN 9780689859373
After finishing book one in this series, I could not stop, picked up book 2 and read it in one quick sitting. The story picks up just after volume one. Malory, Jared and Simon Grace are back at it again. The children soon learn that there is a price to pay for learning about creatures that usually stay hidden, with a mix of kidnapping, a cooked cat, briar patch cages, a wounded griffin, a pack of goblins and a troll. The story packs a lot in a small space.
Once you start reading the books you will not want to stop. Make sure you have at least the five from the first series. Both Black and DiTerlizzi do an amazing job again on this book. So as soon as you finish it you will be desperate to pick up book 3, Lucinda's Secret. The writing is excellent and the illustrations are awesome. This book is a great read and will leave you itching for the next book in the series.Books by Black and DiTerlizzi: The Spiderwick Chronicles

I guess, young readers will not be able to eat their meal upon finishing this book. They'll remember what happened to Simon's cat...
