Lucinda's Secret (Volume 3) (SPIDERWICK CHRONICLE)

I like this book because it makes you believe and it makes you laugh and it makes you have a better imagination.I gave this book 5stars because it's fab and funny also fun.I would give this book to Lily-May red fern because she has read book 1and 2.

This book arrived on time and is in really good condition. The book is a good read and a really good series as a whole.

Purchased as a gift for 10 year old girl. Book arrived quickly but some of the pages were crumpled. Otherwise happy.

Has been keeping a young grandson very happy, edgy, scared, wide eyed and enthralled for a few nights as I read him a bedtime story via Skype - a lovely way to keep in touch. Story spellbinding and illustrations magical.

I thought it was a really great novelAnd it's probably the best novel I've read so far.Kaboom bang

This book arrived quickly,well before the expected date, so was able to give as a Christmas gift. It was well packaged and great value for money. My grandson loves this book.

As with the previous instalments, this book is simply beautiful. It is presented so nicely and contains gorgeous illustrations and so looks great as part of any fantasy collection, for adults or children.While I am still really enjoying this series, I did think that this was the weakest story so far. It started well but just seemed to peter out towards the end, concluding in a very abrupt and somewhat dull climax. Yet it did start to broaden the story, revealing a little more about Arthur and Lucinda Spiderwick and introduce the key fey who are intent on taking the book.I also like the fact that the authors are starting to use some more unusual fey. The books to date have introduced Goblins, Brownies, Griffins and Trolls - all of which are heavily used in fantasy fiction. The use of a phouka in this one was rather cool. He was an entertaining character and a bit more unusual than the others that have appeared so far. I hope we see him again.The kids are still the highlight of the book - still showing their individuality but starting to come together in their desire to use the book to help Arthur. I'm really looking forward to what comes next as I'm dying to know how this series is going to conclude.

Very happy with this purchase

Great book, was in great shape! Exactly what we were looking for.

My 8 yr old and I read this series EVERY night! We love it! We are actually on the last book of the series and he's already asked if we can maybe re-read the series from the first book to the last again. heheGreat writting and love how they present the books and the style of the book. Very nice. I like that they encourage kids to write their OWN stories about fairies and creatures in their imagination. A series every child should have in their book collection.

It is always enjoyable when you find some parts different from the other works when you have books as original. This book shows how Jared encounters three elves who warn of the book.

～　この３冊目では世界がぐっと広がって、事件の背後の事情も単純ではないことが見えてきます。前半は精神病院に入っている屋敷の持主のルシンダ大叔母さんのお見舞いで、大叔母さんの大変な秘密が明らかになり、後半は屋敷のすぐ南側の丘の探検で、新たなキャラクタが登場。２冊目で出てきたゴブリンたちの背後にいる黒幕がちらりと覗きます。フェアリィの世～～界も一枚岩ではもちろん無く、誰が敵で誰が味方かわからない。まだ謎は深まるばかり。当然エルフも出てきますが、『指輪』のエルフとは違います、念のため。こちらの方が原型に近いのでは。アクションに継ぐアクションだった前２冊とはテンポが変わって方向転換。後の２冊がまたたたみかけでしょうか。来年春刊行が待ち遠しい。～～　主人公の少年たちやフェアリィの描写が地に足のついたもので、ごく自然に引き込まれます。しかも無駄がなく、簡潔なことばで微妙な心の動きや複雑な事情を的確に表現しています。英語もやさしいけれど、リズミカルで気品があり、音読するのも気持ちが良いです。この作家、徒者でありません。～～　前２冊のレビューアの方も触れてますが、本の作りがすてきで、Ｂ６判のサイズが決まってます。邦訳もおそらく出るのでしょうが、ぜひこれを活かしていただきたい。～
