Grade 3-6–In these two books of the five title
Spiderwick Chronicles series (S & S, 2003/04) by Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black, the creatures of Faerie are still seeking Arthur Spiderwick's Field Guide to the Fantastical World Around You, which continues to bring all manner of trouble for the Grace children. Mark Hamill's (
Star Wars) clear and well-paced vocal talents add much to this production. Alternately carefree and foreboding, childishly innocent and ominously malevolent, Hamill effortlessly transitions his vocal characterizations from earnest children to crazy old Aunt Lucinda and evil elves, while drawing the whole together with a pleasantly lilting narration. Fans of Lemony Snicket will especially appreciate the suspense and mystery of this fantastical audiobook.–
