The Spiderwick Chronicles

The library's got quite a collection of these, and I checked out a few last week. They're quite fun, well-constructed little stories that draw on a lot of the older, fiercer fairy tales, build the suspense well, and finish of nicely within a scant hundred pages, which is incredibly impressive.

And they're lovely books too, easy to hold and with beautiful covers.

I was confused by the apparent presence of two book ones, but further research (ie a quick look at Amazon.com) shows that there are at least two series.
