Books with author Holly DiTerlizzi

Brownies, phookas, and sprites are just a few of the creatures that the Grace children, thirteen-year-old Mallory and nine-year-old twins Jared and Simon, discover in their dilapidated old house. The mysterious goings-on at the Spiderwick Estates are documented in the wonderfully gothic tales known collectively as The Spiderwick Chronicles. The five volumes in the series, written by Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi, have all hit the New York Times children's best-seller list, and have sold a total of more than one million books to date. The books are now in thirty languages, and two more Spiderwick books are due out in 2005. Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Films have tapped Mark Waters (Freaky Friday and Mean Girls) to direct an upcoming movie based on the adventures of the Grace kids. The Spiderwick Chronicles 2006 Calendar features full-color images from the books by award-winning co-author and illustrator Tony DiTerlizzi. And don't forget the words of Mallory, Jared, and Simon: "We just want people to know about this. The stuff that has happened to us could happen to anyone."

Talk about out of the frying pan, into the fire! I was pretty sure that my freaky stepsister and that freaky field guide of hers would ruin my life. But now it looks like they're going to ruin all of Florida, too! Okay, maybe that's not fair. Maybe all these stupid giants would be waking up anyway, but if it wasn't for her and that book, I'd be home playing video games and this would be someone else's giant problem!

Mallory and Jake must rescue Simon from the goblins who snatched him in this repackage of the second book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Spiderwick Chronicles.Thanks to the mysterious field guide left behind by their long-lost great-great-uncle Arthur Spiderwick, life for the Grace kids—Jared, Simon, and Mallory—is beyond weird. When Simon goes missing, Jared is convinced creatures from the faerie world have something to do with it. Mallory is not convinced. That is, until she and Jared have to contend with a band of menacing, marauding goblins. Simon is clearly in danger, and it’s up to Mallory and Simon to save him, before it’s too late… In honor of the tenth anniversary of the #1 New York Times bestselling Spiderwick Chronicles series, which has more than 12 million copies in print worldwide, this edition of The Seeing Stone features a larger trim size and an original jacketed cover with all-new art from Tony DiTerlizzi.

The Spiderwick Chronicles leave the old-fashioned charm of New England far behind and head south for some fiendish faerie fun in the hot Florida sun. Eleven-year-old Nicholas Vargas only thinks his life has been turned upside down after his developer father remarries and moves his new wife and daughter into the soon-to-be completed Mangrove Hollow. But an "expedition" to a nearby lake turns up a little nixie with a giant problem - the huge, lumbering, fire-breathing variety - and it's up to Nick; his stepsister, Laurie; and his big brother, Julian (plus a familiar face from the original Spiderwick Chronicles) to figure out the best way to stop a host of rampaging giants before all of Florida goes up in smoke.

"Go away. Close the book. Put it down. Do not look." So begins The Spiderwick Chronicles, a series of books centered on the Grace children-thirteen-year-old Mallory and nine-year-old twins Jared and Simon-who move into a ramshackle old house with their mother, only to discover it swarming with creatures of every variety. The Field Guide, The Seeing Stone, and Lucinda's Secret, the first three volumes of the series, have all hit the New York Times children's best-seller list, and two more books will be released by October 2004. Recognizing the stories' appeal, Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Films have optioned feature film rights. The Spiderwick Chronicles 2005 Calendar highlights fantastical full-color images from the books by award-winning co-author and illustrator Tony DiTerlizzi. An exclusive poster is also included. But don't be hoodwinked. Heed the warning. There are goblins, trolls, and boggarts all around, just waiting . . . Their world is closer than you think.
