Back to Black

Hello Everyone,

With that title you might think this post is going to be about Amy Winehouse because of her song Back to Black. It’s not she was a great singer. She also looks a lot like my mother it’s almost scary.

This post is also not going to be about how black makes you look thinner. I mean it does make you look thinner, but this post is not about that.

It’s going to be about…. Wait for it. Drum roll, please.

Okay, I’ll stop stalling.

The Spiderwick Chronicles written by Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black. The reader Mark Hamill, the same guy that acted out Luke Skywalker. Its amazing! This series is also wonderful for the little monsters that don’t like to read.

The Spiderwick Chronicles is about the three Grace siblings Jared, Simon, and Mallory. They move to the Spiderwick estate  with their mom after their parents divorce. It’s their new start in life. When they get there, it looks like a rundown house in desperate need of a repair. Their great aunt Lucinda lived in the estate until she lost her marbles and was placed in a home.  Everything seems normal and dull in their new place that is until Jared finds a book. A book about ______. It’s almost like the forest knows he found this precious book that tells of the secrets Jared, Simon, and Mallory visit their great aunt in hopes that she would know what’s going on. Only to find she is not what she seems. Problem after problem afflicts the grace twins who could they turn to no adult would believe them.

Here is the first book in the series.
