The creators of The Spiderwick Chronicles leave the oldfashioned charm of New England far behind and head south for some fiendish faerie fun in the hot Florida sun.
Elevenyearold Nicholas Vargas thinks his sucky life has been turned upside down. His developer father has remarried and moved his new wife and daughter into his home in the soontobecompleted Melgrove Hollow. So, not only has Nick lost his bedroom to his wacko new stepsister, Laurie (who lugs around this huge book about faeries and wishes her name was Lauranathana...C'mon! How lame is that?!), but his father actually wants him to spend time with her.
When an "expedition" to a nearby lake turns up a nixie with a giant problem and by giant we're talkin' the huge, lumbering, firebreathing variety it's up to Nick and Laurie (with the help of Nick's big brother, Julian) to figure out the best way to stop the rampaging beast before all of Mangrove Hollow goes up in smoke!
