My Thoughts: A little creepy at times because the main characters couldn't really trust any of the magical creatures or the people involved. Humorous at other times. I especially liked the breaking of the fourth wall. I am not sure if I liked it better than the orginal Spiderwick Chronicles or about the same. In all, it was a good short story and I will be reading the rest of the new series.
About the Author: Holly Black has written 3 teen books, 1 graphic novel and 6 other children's books. She lives in Massachusetts.

Thanks for the review. Magical creatures sortof freak me out as well, because who knows if they can be trusted or not (I'd lean towards not trusting anything magical)
My 8 y.o. daughter loves all the Spiderwick books and is anxiously waiting for the 3rd Beyond Chronicle...
Cool review. :)
