Celebrate the 20th anniversary of the #1 New York Times bestselling Spiderwick Chronicles and get ready for the series soon to be streaming on Roku with this first installment in the adventures of the Grace children featuring an all-new look.

The Grace children want to share their story, but the faeries will do everything possible to stop them...
