The official patter:
"In the final installment of Beyond the Spiderwick Chronicles, Nick and Laurie had thought they solved their giant problems when they drove all the giants into the sea. But now, the Grace kids have come back to tell them they may have more trouble coming their way!
It turns out the giants control the population of Hydra, a dragon like creature that is creating sinkholes all over Florida. But with the mermaids refusing to return the giants to the shore, the nixie's still missing and the threat of a destroyed Florida drawing closer, the kids have to take matters in their own hands.
Will Nick and Laurie be able to stop the destruction they unwittingly caused? Can a new giant hunter help save the day? Can Arthur Spiderwick's Field Guide help them out of this or are they on their own?
Find out in the final conclusion of the Spiderwick saga!"
Waiting for this book has been excruciating. Of course this is probably due to the fact I joined the Spiderwick bandwagon after the original five books were already out as well as The Nixie's Song, all of which I polished off in a day. So not having the instant gratification of how this series would end has been a long wait. And considering how quick a read they are, last fall when A Giant Problem came out, after an hour I was like "I have to wait a year now!?!" Of course you can see why it takes so long, the artwork by DiTerlizzi alone with his Rackham overtones, just gorgeous. But this is it, the end, and I can't wait to read it, literally, can I have it now?
They are also going to be touring to support this, their final Spiderwick book!

The official patter:
"What if? Why not? Could it be?
When a fortuneteller's tent appears in the market square of the city of Baltese, orphan Peter Augustus Duchene knows the questions that he needs to ask: Does his sister still live? And if so, how can he find her? The fortuneteller's mysterious answer (an elephant! An elephant will lead him there!) sets off a chain of events so remarkable, so impossible, that you will hardly dare to believe it’s true. With atmospheric illustrations by fine artist Yoko Tanaka, here is a dreamlike and captivating tale that could only be narrated by Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo. In this timeless fable, she evokes the largest of themes — hope and belonging, desire and compassion — with the lightness of a magician’s touch."
This week also sees the release of a new book by Kate DiCamillo. You've probably heard of her because her books are so popular they have a tendency to be made into movies, Because of Winn-Dixie and Desperaux are two of hers. What makes this book extra exciting for me is that the artwork is by Yoko Tanaka who I've been keeping my fingers crossed she'd do more books after her fabulous work on R. L. LaFever's Theodosia Throckmorton books.
She will also be making appearances for this book, but don't worry if I can't go because Amazon is actually selling a Signed Special Edition.

This sounds wonderful. Our family really loved The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane which we listened to in audio format. I look forward to her new one.
I found your blog through Bookworming in the 21st Century.
