Description:

When Jared, Simon, and Mallory Grace, along with their mother, move into the ramshackle old house belonging to crazy Aunt Lucinda after the Grace parents' divorce, strange things start happening. Jared, who has a penchant for trrouble, gets blamed for everything. But after Jared finds a field guide to faeries in the attic, he suspects that a boggart may be causing all the trouble. No one in his family believes him, so if Jared can't find a way to stop the boggart, he could be in big trouble!

Mom's Review:

This is a fun little book and a quick read. The Victorian design of the book, from the list of illustrations in the beginning to the chapter titles, add atmosphere to the book, and the vivid pen-and-ink illustrations are beautiful and an essential part of the book.
