The Spiderwick Chronicles 4: The Ironwood Tree


Daughter: I bet you would never figure out who is well dressed, holding a sword and in a glass box. It is someone you would never expect, it's Mallory! This Spiderwick book is very interesting, Mallory goes to her fencing tournament, Jared sees a girl looking through Mallory's gym bag. A girl tells him she saw Mallory crying in the girls bathroom. Jared was confused since Mallory won the fencing tournament. Simon And Jared get captured by dwarves. They realize every thing the dwarves make is made out of metal: gold and bronze. Mallory was captured by the dwarves before Simon and Jared.


Dad: I think the dwarves go a bit too far with this metal thing: They have dogs made of metal, who can follow a scent and fetch! (I like our Lucy better; puppies need fur.) Also appearing in this story: a really creepy shape shifter - Jared! Well, Not Jared actually. You can tell because he and Jared end up talking to each other. And it isn't his twin Simon either. Less trustworthy than the pookah: Beware the Not Jared. This book is fun and suspenseful. The Grace children need to be quick thinking and quick on their feet.

Coming Soon: Book 5: The Wrath of Mulgarath, a movie review and Daughter and Dad check out the classics. Don't miss a single exciting episode of the DD Book Review.
