Book Review: The start of a fun new series.
Summary: 4 Stars

Holly Black, The Nixie's Song (Simon and Schuster, 2007)

Holly Black and illustrator Tony DiTerlizzi, having made something close to a mint with the Spiderwick Chronicles books, return to the scene of their respective greatest successes with, of course, Beyond the Spiderwick Chronicles, a projected trilogy of which this is the first volume. The action has shifted southward to Florida, where a newly-minted stepfamily finds one son and one daughter at odds with one another until the two of them go off fairy-hunting, not really expecting to find anything. They do, however, and learn, quickly and firsthand, that fairies are not to be trifled with. As with the original Spiderwick books, this is a monstrously quick read given how long it is; you'll be able to toss it back in an afternoon if you read a couple of chapters during your downtime here and there. Witty, fun, and everything you've come to expect from Black and DiTerlizzi; I'm looking forward to the next volumes in the series. *** ?

Summary of The Nixie's Song (Beyond The Spiderwick Chronicles, Book 1)

The Spiderwick Chronicles leave the old-fashioned charm of New England far behind and head south for some fiendish faerie fun in the hot Florida sun. Eleven-year-old Nicholas Vargas only thinks his life has been turned upside down after his developer father remarries and moves his new wife and daughter into the soon-to-be completed Mangrove Hollow.

But an "expedition" to a nearby lake turns up a little nixie with a giant problem - the huge, lumbering, fire-breathing variety - and it's up to Nick; his stepsister, Laurie; and his big brother, Julian (plus a familiar face from the original Spiderwick Chronicles) to figure out the best way to stop a host of rampaging giants before all of Florida goes up in smoke.
