Lucinda's Secret

by Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi
Review:
The Grace kids visit their "crazy old" Aunt Lucinda in the third installment of the Spiderwick Chronicles. Things start to heat up between the children and various creatures that come to life from the infamous Field Guide. Goblins, trolls, faeries, a house brownie and even a hidden griffin are amongst the newest characters that the children struggle to make heads and tails out of. A trip to the asylum guided by their mother, the children are hoping that Lucinda might know something about Uncle Arthur's fate or at least have some advice on how to fend off the faeries. Should they turn the guide over to the faeries? You have to read Book Four to find out.
