The Spiderwick Chronicles books 1-5 by Holly Black and illustrated by Tony DiTerlizzi. This is the first time I’ve read a book in the hope it will ‘fix’ the movie and I’m glad I did because the books are charming and the illustrations magical. To be fair I enjoyed the movie a lot and my problem was with some of the bigger plot leap-holes – which don’t happen in the five little books – they tell roughly the same tale.
