The Seeing Stone (The Spiderwick Chronicles, Book 2) 65 reviews Holly Black
Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, 2003
Goblins Awakening
+ Good but Scary + Book two just as fun
The characters in the story are three kids Mallory, Simon, and Jared. They moved into a new house, that was their aunt's old house. The story builds up with each book because there are five books. At the end of each book, it begins a new book which is my favorite; it makes me want to read more. ...

+ Good, Quick Read + Emily from Lake Tapps says, "The Best Book Ever!!"
After seeing the movie, which I loved, I purchased this book to give it a try. I know it's a children's book but thought what the heck. I loved the illustrations in the book, I wish "grown-up" books had pictures too. The reading was easy, as it should be. The book is very short, wish they would ...

Mister Monday (Keys to the Kingdom, Book 1) 108 reviews Garth Nix
Scholastic Paperbacks, 2003
a fresh new look at children's fantasy
+ I Was Confused, but Eventually Caught On + A Great Fantasy
I have always had a particular interest in children/teen fantasy. I normally am an adult fantasy reader, but sometimes it is nice to read a book that isn't trying to play off like the real world. This book is such a clever, compelling read that I was sorely disappointed to have to wait for more. ...
