Book Review: Lucinda's Secret: Spiderwick (3)

Lucinda’s Secret.  In this book the Grace siblings visit their great-great aunt Lucinda.  They visit her as they are trying to decide what to do with the field guide.  Lucinda relates how her father Arthur Spiderwick disappeared.  He left with the field guide and just disappeared.  However she shares in the secret of the fairies.  The reason she is in the hospital is she only eats fairie food, which she prefers to regular food.  As a result of this visit, the children decide to visit the elves.  They had found a map of the vicinity which showed the elf area.  It seems Arthur Spiderwick was going to visit them the day he disappeared.  The children also discover that they have lost the field guide, apparently the house brownie, Thimbletack stole it and has hidden it.  The elves insist on getting the field guide, and say they are going to keep Simon until they bring it, while letting the others go.  However Jared plays a trick and trades places with Simon, so they have to let him go.  Something someone said makes Jared think Arthur Spiderwick is still alive and with the elves.
