Review:
The children return to the Spiderwick Estate only to find their home in shambles, with trash and broken furniture scattered across the lawn and Simon's griffin chasing a "goblin" across the roof. Mom and the Field Guide are both missing and only Mulgarath can be blamed for these heinous crimes. With the help of Thimbletack, Hogsqueal and Byron, the children have to save Arthur Spiderwick from the elves and stop Mulgarath and his goblins. The series ends with a dramatic rescue and the demise of Mulgarath.
