Lucinda's Secret~Holly Black & Tony DiTerlizzi | Review

Title: Lucinda's Secret (Spiderwick Chronicles #3)
Author: Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi
Genre: Children's Fantasy
Length: 108
Release: October 2003
Review
Yet another fun adventure with Jared, Simon, and Mallory as they explore more of the faerie world. They meet their aunt Lucinda Spiderwick, hoping to find answers, but things might be more of a mystery than ever. What started out as a fun adventure is becoming more and more dangerous the more the children learn. 

For being such short stories, these really pack in a lot and manage to develop the characters very well. Each of the three siblings has their own distinct voice and you can pick that up as you read. You can also see how each of them deals with their frustrations over their situation and it makes them more relatable. 

This third installment escalates the mystery that has been building, making me eager to continue onto the penultimate novel.
