Spiderwick Chronicles

Fairies, hobgoblins, and sprites… oh my. In the spirit of Narnia and Harry Potter, comes another popular children’s book recreating the magical world of Arthur Spiderwick and his book of secrets. It is a wild adventure for brave kids who love mystery and daring thrills. It has great kid appeal if you don’t scare too easily. Any kid with imagination will be attracted to the strange invisible creatures, hidden rooms and tunnels, sword fighting, magic, and saving the world. Freddie Highmore is convincing as the very different twins, Jared and Simon. This movie with some spectacular special effects is great fun for kids and adults who want to be kids again. By the end, you’ll want to know more about these creatures and the secrets in the field guide. Stock up on your honey, salt, and tomato sauce.

Alien gives it 3 ½ “fantasmical realm” stars out of 4.
