The Seeing Stone (The Spiderwick Chronicles, 2)

Product Information

Magical creatures are a very important part of these books. I feel like in each book we meet a new magical creature, this was something I really appreciated because it took away a lot of the info-dumping that can come with this type of story. Let the story of my niece and nephews be a warning. The more you know, the more danger you’re in. And trust me, you don’t want to meddle with the Little People. — S.S. In the boys' bedroom, Jared assures Simon that their dad is coming for them. There is salt all over the window sills, and there is a picture of Aunt Lucinda (Arthur's daughter) as a little girl. She was taken to an asylum when she claimed her father was kidnapped by fairies. Lucinda was the last one to live in the house before she was taken.

Read through and discuss the texts. Put the children into groups of three, to retell what happened, each taking on the role of one of the children. Write information about different creatures such as elves, dwarves, goblins, trolls for the Field Guide To Incredible Creatures of the British Isles.

Play the game ‘after that’. In this game, the children are in pairs. One of them starts by saying something that they have done, e.g.‘I ran down the stairs.’ Their partner then adds on something new, using the words ‘after that’, e.g. ‘After that I had breakfast.’ Each partner then keeps building up what happened next, taking it in turns to use the words ‘after that’.

Ben Diskin, Bob Joles, Jonathan Lipow, John Mariano, Nolan North, Chris Parson, and Fred Tatasciore perform the goblin voices. The Grace children — twin brothers Simon and Jared, and their older sister Mallory — are the main characters of the book series. That means viewers can expect a trio of kids at the center of the Disney+ show. Once we had finished the hide, Marengorm promised that he would make sure that it was protected from any trolls or goblins. We are hoping to meet him tomorrow but Mallory thinks we should not trust him.

Jared realizes to find Arthur, they must find the sacred glade, and the only way to get here is by Arthur's pet, a griffin (Half lion, half bird). Jared summon the griffin, and the three siblings ride off to the glade, but not before Hogsqueal appears again, and gives them all the "sight"

I remember loving these books when I was 10/11. They were the first books I read with fae, that weren’t cute Disney Tinkerbell like characters, and started off my love for books about fae. This review made me feel very nostalgic and I’m thinking I might reread the series 😅Did you know you can flag iffy content? Adjust limits for Violence & Scariness in your kid's entertainment guide.
