Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi go ‘Beyond the Spiderwick Chronicles’ with their latest book ‘The Nixie’s Song’. The first in a new series of the Chronicles is set in sunny Florida, and sees eleven-year-old Nicholas Vargas’ life being turned upside down after his developer father remarries and moves his new wife and daughter into the soon-to-be completed Mangrove Hollow. However an expedition to a nearby lake turns up a little nixie with a giant problem - the huge, lumbering, fire-breathing variety - and it’s up to Nick; his stepsister, Laurie; and his big brother, Julian (plus a familiar face from the original Spiderwick Chronicles) to figure out the best way to stop a host of rampaging giants before all of Florida goes up in smoke.
