Summary:
This notebook for fantastical observations is a must-have for any young adventurer wishing to follow in the footsteps of Arthur Spiderwick and the Grace children. In addition to tips for tracking and observing faerie phenomena (under headings like; How to Get the Sight, Faerie Protections, Suggested Equipment, and Ways to Tell There Might Be Faeries Nearby), readers will read about boggarts, brownies, goblins, griffins, hobgoblins, sprites, trolls, stray sod, phookas, unicorns, elves, dwarves, knockers, dragons, and ogres-all creatures found in the first five books of the Spiderwick Chronicles-in tales gathered from faerie watchers around the globe. There are also copious blank pages in each section throughout for readers.
Excerpt/First Sentence(s):
I admit I'm a slob. I throw my socks and underwear on the floor. I kick the covers off my bed and sleep on the bare mattress. My hair sticks up from my head like a bunch of crabgrass. I never clean up any of my toys. If something gets broken because I stepped on it, then I just try to avoid that area. Sometimes I forget, but usually there are enough clothes on top that the broken toy parts don't hurt my feet that bad. But no matter how messy I am, there is always someone messier than me.
My parents don't understand how I got to be this way. My room used to be neat, my hair combed and my clothes folded. That was when Skifflewhim was my friend. He's really little, with big hairy ears and pants made from an old leather glove. He would hop around, making my clothes dance themselves into the drawers. My hair would part and braid itself out before I even woke up, so I wouldn't notice if he worked on the tangles. My dolls would march right onto the shelves.
And all I had to do was leave out some scraps from dinner.
