Our view
“The Ironwood Tree” is a tense fourth Spiderwick adventure in which Jared and Simon search for their kidnapped sister among dwarves and goblins. The bond between the siblings feels real and gives the story its warmth, while fae mischief keeps the action lively. Some readers find it short on incident, a bridge towards the series’ final volume.
