The Spiderwick Chronicles #1-5

The Spiderwick Chronicles Box Set

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!

Tämä oli ihan ok, muttei aiheuttanut jälkikasvussa suurempaa innostusta eikä sen kummempaa muistijälkeä.
Oli peritty kirja haltioista ja se oli vaarallinen, koska haltiat ja peikot ja muut olennot halusivat sen takaisin.
Ainoa varsinainen oikeasti mielenkiintoinen jännite kirjassa oli se, kun henkimaailman olennot saavat päähenkilön hankaluuksiin koulussa ja äitinsä kanssa, kun niiden pahanteko tulkitaan päähenkilön syyksi. Tästäkään ei silti otettu kaikkia tehoja irti.
No mutta, ennemmin luki kuin selkäänsä otti.

Lapsuuteni inspiraatio! Edelleen hyvä, vaikka onkin lapsille suunnattu. Sisältää karuja juttuja, mikä vain lisää lapsille jännityksen tuntua. Jännitystä pitää olla, mutta ei pelkoa.

Kunnon ehtaa enkkuhenkistä fantasiaa keijuineen ja surkeine lapsineen kaikkineen. Jännä, muttei liian - kymppivuotiaille vinkkaukseen!
