Spiderwick Chronicles

[Milz]

Hi Petra and Cassandraclaire. 

There were two books I saw at Borders: "The Field Guide" and "The 
Seeing Stone". I noticed them due to the display next to the Potter 
books. The display offered a free seeing stone. My curiosity got the 
better of me:)

As I wrote in my first post, I only skimmed through the books and saw 
some similarities between them and the Snicket books, however 
superficial they may be. Furthermore, the packaging (size, shape, 
general cover art design) of the books were similar to the Snicket 
books. 

Before buying books, I usually see if my local library has copies. 
Some books are good "library reads", but aren't good enough to 
be "home library" investments, imho. Mine did not have copies of the 
Spiderwick Chronicles. So that's why I brought my queries here about 
the series, as I figured someone might have read them and can fill me 
in.

If my first post implied the Spiderwick books are deliberate copy-
cats of the Snicket books, I apologize.
