Good finish

In the Wrath of Mulgarath, the Grace children face their worst foe yet, Mulgarath the Ogre. They must foil his plot to take over the world, save an unexpected hostage (or two), penetrate a palace of garbage, and face monsters they know and some they have not encountered yet. They will have help from an unexpected source in all of this as the balance of power in the world of Faeirie teeters on a knife's blade. There are a lot of fun moments in this last installment of the Spiderwick Chronicles, but it gets pretty intense for younger children. My kids won't be reading this until they are at least seven. Also, there is the occasional somewhat mean banter between siblings that parents will want to watch out for. Having said that, The Wrath of Mulgarath is a grand romp through fairy lore for people of all ages.

The Wrath of Mulgrath

I used these books to enticed my children to read. If they completed all five books they got to see the movie. It worked! It is a little intense for younger readers. Very exciting and action packed for those that can handle the battles. The only downfall is the cat is taken by the goblins and it never mentions anything about the kids getting "Tibbs" back. Goblins eat cats uggh! I prepared my daughter beforehand and we flew through that part. No graphic details just not a great idea in childrens books. Why not rats instead of cats. Otherwise lots of fun.

The Wrath of Mulgarath (The Spiderwick Chronicles, Book 5)

This book is an excellent way to end the series called the Spiderwick Chronicles. Soon after I completed reading the five book series, I watched the movie, and was very disappointed in the movie itself because it no where near as good as the book series, and actually wasn't the same story at all.
Love the book, didn't like the movie.

Good End to Series

After their encounter with goblins, dwarves, and elves, Jared, Simon, and Mallory Grace realize they have to tell their mother about the faerie world surrounding them. But they may have waited too long and it will take everything they have plus help from some friends to make everything okay.

"The Wrath of Mulgarath" is the exciting conclusion to the five book series "The Spiderwick Chronicles". The book picks up right where "The Ironwood Tree" ends and is filled with non-stop action. There is the return of old favorite (Thimbletack and Hogsqueal) and not so favorite (Mulgarath) characters as well as more than one surprise along the way. The book is full of twists and turns and not everyone and everything is what they seem to be. There are moments filled with real suspense and even some humor along the way. While the climactic battle scene has plenty of action, I was a bit disappointed because certain events seemed a bit anticlimactic.

Since this was the fifth and final book in "The Spiderwick Chronicles" series, everything is neatly wrapped up in the end. Readers will love reading what happens to Jared, Simon, and Mallory, as well as Thimbletack and Hogsqueal, and even Aunt Lucinda. Her ending is the most bittersweet of all.

"The Wrath of Mulgarath" is a great ending to a wonderful series.

Well written, fun story

My son, who is just about finished with 3rd grade, enjoyed this series very much and was sad to see it end. The story was well written, with only a few story lines to follow and concluding with no loose ends. Some of the language was unnecessary and made the reading a bit uncomfortable at times as there were things written that are not permitted to be said in our household, but overall a very good read.

Three ordinary kids, Jared, Simon, and Wallory Grace, have entered another world -- without leaving this one! Two remarkable talents, New York Times best-sellers Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black, have risked everything to bring this remarkable account to light. Five books -- one thrilling adventure -- the Spiderwick Chronicles!
