Rate this book
It all started with a mysterious letter left at a tiny bookstore for authors Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black. Its closing lines: "We just want people to know about this. The stuff that has happened to us could happen to anyone." Little could they imagine the remarkable adventure that awaited them as they followed Jared, Simon, and Mallory Grace and a strange old book into a world filled with elves, goblins, dwarves, trolls, and a fantastical menagerie of other creatures. The oddest part is in entering that world, they didn't leave this one!

Ich hab tatsächlich nicht mehr allzu viele Erinnerung an das Buch, doch ich hüte es bis heute wie einen Schatz.

Die 5 Spiderwick Bände habe ich vor ein paar Jahren bereits als Hörbuch gehört. Da ich sie noch fürs Regal haben wollte, musste jetzt dieser tolle Sammelband her. Er ist wirklich superschön gestaltet. Auf fast jeder Seite gibt es Illustrationen und die Kapitelanfänge sind wunderschön gesetzt.
Als besonderen Anhang gibt es außerdem drei verlorene Kapitel, einige Skizzen mit Erklärungen vom Zeichner und was ich ganz toll fand: Der Zeichner hat ein paar befreundete Künstler gebeten die ein Bild zu den Spiderwick Chroniken in ihrem Zeichenstil zu malen. Da sind ein paar wirklich interessante Bilder dabei.

Definitiv eine Sammelausgabe für Liebhaber, die ihr Geld wert ist.
