He follows a riddle and stumbles upon an old book, written by Arthur Spiderwick, filled with stories, pictures, illustrations and a myriad of information about faeries, and many other fantastical creatures. In this first book, Jared Grace, seemingly the outcast of his family, discovers a secret library in his great aunt’s house in which his family and he are staying.

The Grace children want to share their story, but the faeries will do everything possible to stop them.
