Book two in the Spiderwick Chronicles is about Jared and Mallory trying to save their brother Simon when he is taken by goblins. Unfortunatly thay cant see any of the goblins, or any other magical creature for that matter unless they find a magic eyepiece. When they find it, they go in search of Simon and encounter many scary creatures like trolls and griffins. They finally rescue Simon with the help of a hobgoblin and take a griffin home because it is injured. The hobgoblin spits in each of their eyes which then allows them to see everything without the eyepiece. the book ends when they get home at one in the morning and are grounded by their mother because they couldnt come up with a good excuse for missing.
I loved this book almost as much as i loved the first book. These books are just so funny and creative. The authors put a cool twist on the creatures. The books are short and simple but so much fun.
I would recomend this book to anyone and i see no problems coming from this series.
