Our view
“Lucinda’s Secret” is a quick, charming third volume that takes “The Spiderwick Chronicles” deeper into the world of faeries. The Grace children cope with Thimbletack’s attacks, a wounded griffin kept out of sight and the question of the Guide, which only their confused Aunt Lucinda may be able to answer. Some readers single out the illustrations as a highlight. Short enough for a single evening, it makes a good bedtime read for families.

About the book
As if being attacked by goblins and a bridge troll weren’t enough, Jared is now being targeted by Thimbletack. Simon is keeping an injured and very hungry griffin hidden in the carriage house. And Mallory is convinced the only way to get things back to normal is to get rid of the Guide. But that doesn’t seem to be an option. With more creatures from Arthur Spiderwick’s Field Guide to the Fantastical World Around You popping up, the Guide seems to be the only protection the Grace kids have. But why do the faeries want it so badly? There’s only one person to go to for answers—their fragile and confused Aunt Lucinda.
