Step into the Spiderwick estate with Thimbletack, the brownie who tends the old mansion. He opens his personal scrapbook filled with faerie artifacts and forgotten treasures. You'll discover the hidden history of the Grace family's new home and its previous residents. Lost letters reveal secrets that have stayed buried for decades. Personal belongings from Jared, Simon, and Mallory Grace tell their own stories. Thimbletack shares newspaper clippings and firsthand accounts of magical creature encounters from around the globe. Interactive elements bring his collection to life through pullouts and pop-ups. The boundary between the human world and the realm of faeries grows thinner with each page you turn.
