4-6Spiderwick Chronicles series.
Illustrated by
Tony DiTerlizzi.
In the fifth, and allegedly final, volume about the Grace children, Jared, Mallory, and Simon search for their abducted mother, battle dragons, and meet great-great-uncle Arthur, who disappeared from the mortal world decades ago. A little more grotesque than previous volumes in the series, the busy, occasionally murky plot is heavily illustrated.
