The Spiderwick Chronicles

The Spiderwick Chronicles by Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi

I read all five books and thought they were all very good. The fifth book was my favorite and that's what I'll talk about here.

The book is about 3 children, 2 brothers and one sister, and their most biggest adventure of all. One of the boys found a secret book, Arthur Spiderwick's Field Guide to the Fantastical World Around You. This adventure brings them face-to-face with goblins, house brownies, phookas, fairies, trolls, and other magical creatures.

I LOVED the books. They were so good that I wanted to be in the book!

One of my favorite parts has to be where they went to rescue their mom. My favorite character would have to be Malory. She was a smart girl and she was a fencing champion.

It was a really fun book to read. I recommend this book to others, especially kids who like adventure and fantasy books.


*moms note: there are a few minor swear words in the book. Sometimes the kids tell each other to shut up and call each other names. We read most of the book orally and I was able to edit out what I didn't want read!

Welcome!

Welcome to our blog: Book Reviews For Kids By Kids!

It is not hard, we think, to find reviews of books for kids or lists of great books! Except, many of those reviews are written by adults! As much as adults are smart and wise, sometimes it's nice for kids to hear what other kids think.

So please look around, read our reviews, and leave us comments. And we hope you come back again soon to see what new things we have read =)

About Us ...

Book Reviews For Kids By Kids was started by the mother-daughter team of Brandie and Abigail.
Brandie has blogged for over 5 years and her 8 year old daughter Abigail felt she needed a blog of her own as well! Together they thought of the idea to start a page where kids could review books for themselves!

We hope you enjoy this site and if you are a kid and you want to leave some reviews as well, please have your mom or dad e-mail us at Brandie185 at gmail dot com!

Thank you =)
