Spiderwick Chronicles series.
Illustrated by
Holly Black.
Siblings Jared, Mallory, and Simon learn more about the mysterious book in their possession when they visit elderly Aunt Lucinda, who is confined to an asylum. The trio then discovers the book has been stolen by a nemesis. Populated with elves, faeries, and unicorns, this heavily illustrated story will appeal to fantasy fans though it lacks a real beginning and ending.
