Yes, it is true, read it at Barnes and Noble bookstore in Bowling Green over the Labor Day holiday weekend. Teens at the TAB meeting Aug 24th discussing Harry Potter all agreed that America's behind the wall fantasy from Spiderwick Chronicles, by Holly Black with magical drawings by Tony DeTerlizzi was an absolute must to become a movie and they hoped soon. Well, soon it is - around 6 months from now. Perhaps TAB will have a field trip night and all go to the Central City movie theater together for the premiere.
This fantastical series set in New England USA is not as large as the HP series, but it is filled with danger, intrigue and kids working out their own problems in a unreal world. Arthur Spiderwick's estate where they have moved to is filled with behind the wall and in the attic intrigue featuring faeries, sprites and dwarves and other magical creatures. Big sister Mallory and twins Jared and Simon Grace have lots of the same sibling and school problems as normal children and yet they have accepted they must preserve the Spiderwick legacy.
Series titles are 1) The Field Guide, 2) The Seeing Stone, 3) Lucinda's Secret, 4) The Ironwood Tree, 5) The Wrath of Mulgareth. Eerie and yet fun. Check them out before the movie comes!
