Spiderwick Chronicles (Ironwood Tree) - Book # 8

After reading this book, I realized that I only have one more book in this series until it is done. I am certain that they will continue to write more books but it is hard when you have to wait for the next book to come out. Of course, since they are so small it will be fairly easy to reread this series, if need be, before reading the newest one in the series. Well on to my review. The

Ironwood Tree by Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi

Something strange is going on in the Grace family's life. It would appear that everything is simmering down and then at a fencing match, there appears to be someone that looks just like Mallory going through her own stuff while she is fencing. Yes it is complicated. The fairies are not letting them slow down. The twins have to find their sister because she has been kidnapped and it is no pretty. They try to outwit the man who is holding their sister and it works fairly well. Or does it? They are able to get their sister, but at what cost?

I think that this is my favorite book in the series that I have read so far. I really enjoyed it and didn't want to see it end. It was a more complex storyline and really showed what could happen if these kids don't get things figured out quickly.
