(4) 4-6 Beyond the Spiderwick Chronicles series. Nick and Laurie are back, taking over giant-hunting from Noseeum. With Jules and Cindy, the kids lure the giants away and save the town from destruction. While the plot is bland, fans will be glad to see Nick and Laurie starting to work as a team. Black-and-white full-page drawings and spot art illustrate much of the action.

(3) 4-6 Beyond the Spiderwick Chronicles series. Illustrated by Tony DiTerlizzi. Disagreeable Nicholas and his head-in-the-clouds stepsister Laurie set out to find some faeries and end up rescuing a nixie and battling a giant. Joined by Jared from the Spiderwick books, Nicholas and Laurie face a new era of magical danger. The story moves quickly and introduces new creatures, which will be welcomed by Spiderwick fans.
