      This was a really great end to the series. It got a little darker-as a good ending should be- and did a really nice job of wrapping the whole thing up. I also liked how they handled the Uncle, not awkardly starting his life up again. This book was nicely forshadowed with each of teh previous books in the series. I will probobly read the next group of this ... world?
    • 4/5
      As with the previous instalments, this book is simply beautiful. It is presented so nicely and contains gorgeous illustrations and so looks great as part of any fantasy collection, for adults or children.I thought that this was a really nice conclusion to the series. The novel was certainly action-packed, bringing all of the characters together to fight off a frightening foe. It ties together all of the loose threads very neatly, leaving the series feeling complete and very well balanced.My only real gripe was the the wrap up chapter was very fleeting. I won't spoil it for you here but it was a little sudden and I really wish that the authors had taken more care with what could have otherwise been an incredibly moving scene (though I appreciate that this is a short book aimed at younger readers).I liked the final development for the children, particularly Jared who's character growth is really fantastic when you look back over the series as a whole. It's nice that even their mother gets involved a little in this story as she was the one character who always seemed to feel a little left out in the earlier books. It was also a pleasure to see Thimbletack and Hogsqueal back in action - I've really missed these two over the last couple of books!All in all, I'm glad I read this series. Although some were better than others, the books are rather magical and very enjoyable on the whole.
    • 4/5
      Returning home after their adventures in The Ironwood Tree, the three Grace children discover that their mother has been kidnapped by the ogre Mulgarath and his goblin army. With the aid of the elves, who allow Jared to confer with Arthur Spiderwick, the three siblings, together with Byron the griffin, Thimbletack the brownie and Hogsqueal the hobgoblin, set out to rescue her. Their plan - Hogsqueal will pretend that he has captured Jared and Mallory, and 'deliver' them to Mulgarath's camp, while Simon will fly in on Byron - seems to work at first, but when they finally get to the ogre's palace of trash, they discover that all is not as it seems. When Jared sees through the shape-shifter's disguise, a final confrontation is set in motion, in which all play a role in defeating this monster who plans to destroy the human world. The book concludes as Aunt Lucinda is brought home to live with the Graces, and Arthur Spiderwick is released from his long captivity...An exciting and emotional end to the five-book Spiderwick Chronicles, The Wrath of Mulgarath will keep young readers on the edge of their seats, as they race for the conclusion. Holly Black packs a lot of action into this brief chapter-book for younger readers - at 136 pages it is longer than its predecessors, but still short for a novel - picking up just where the previous installment left off, and wrapping up all the various story strands. Readers will enjoy learning, not just how the Grace children rescued their mother, but how Aunt Lucinda was freed from the psychiatric institution, and how Arthur Spiderwick was released from his life-long captivity with the elves. I did find myself wishing for a little bit more, in terms of the happy conclusion, but overall I was both entertained and moved. This really is an outstanding series for this age-group, far more complex and thought-provoking than many of the stories being produced for beginning chapter-book readers. It is also a beautiful series, artistically speaking, and just wouldn't be the same without Tony DiTerlizzi's gorgeous illustrations. Recommended to anyone who had read the preceding four titles in the series... although to be honest, if they've gotten this far, they aren't likely to stop, or to need the recommendation!
    • 5/5
      These three are short, but they were so woven to be one story, that I'm giving them only one review. They are beyond adorable. I adore them and I want to have them for my kids.

      And I love how all the races are done, the words in each of them, and how they connect. And the art! How can I not tell you about the art! Half of the fun of moving on through any of the stories is the art that's everywhere, brightening everything.

      I love Mallory, Jared and Simon in their own ways, and I love how completely un-cliche they each are really. I'm looking forward to getting the rest of Beyond the Spiderwick Chronicles one day too!
    • 3/5
      As a book, this was well-written with a good plot. As the final book in the series, it left me unsatisfied. While there is a lot of things to pack in a small package, this book felt rushed. The ending was predictable, but somehow unsatisfying because everything was quickly wrapped up in the last two chapters. Nice, quick pace for young readers, but still left me wanting more out of it.Having said that, I do plan on reading the companion books, because I think this is a very good series.This final book is more graphic than the first three, with a few scenes that made me a little squeamish (Dragon scene, Mulgarath's fate). I can see my 6-year-old self being very upset with these scenes, so keep in mind for young sensitive readers.Overall a good book.
    • 3/5
      What a horrible family. Not a single decent role model in the book. The story line is a bit stale and cliched; I didn't care for these books at all.
    • 4/5
      An enchanting finale to a wonderfully magical series! I recommend reading these one after another.
    • 3/5
      This is the end of 'The Spiderwick Chronicles'. So, of course, it's going to be nothing but a battle between the Grace children and Mulgarath's army. But, it was actually pretty good. It is my favorite of the entire series. I wish Mulgarath was in the book more though. He seemed like he could make an interesting and creepy character. Overall, the series is pretty good.
    • 5/5
      After their encounter with goblins, dwarves, and elves, Jared, Simon, and Mallory Grace realize they have to tell their mother about the faerie world surrounding them. But they may have waited too long and it will take everything they have plus help from some friends to make everything okay. "The Wrath of Mulgarath" is the exciting conclusion to the five book series "The Spiderwick Chronicles". The book picks up right where "The Ironwood Tree" ends and is filled with non-stop action. There is the return of old favorite (Thimbletack and Hogsqueal) and not so favorite (Mulgarath) characters as well as more than one surprise along the way. The book is full of twists and turns and not everyone and everything is what they seem to be. There are moments filled with real suspense and even some humor along the way. While the climactic battle scene has plenty of action, I was a bit disappointed because certain events seemed a bit anticlimactic. Since this was the fifth and final book in "The Spiderwick Chronicles" series, everything is neatly wrapped up in the end. Readers will love reading what happens to Jared, Simon, and Mallory, as well as Thimbletack and Hogsqueal, and even Aunt Lucinda. Her ending is the most bittersweet of all. "The Wrath of Mulgarath" is a great ending to a wonderful series.
    • 4/5
      What an awesome children's series. I'm so glad I took the time to read this to my kids. The ending was perfect, the characters delightfully crafted. Zack did mention "Hey, if we read the books it will ruin the ending of the movie!" lol, that's sort of the point :)
    • 4/5
      A great ending to a really enjoyable series. This, being the fifth and final book of the "Chronicles of Spiderwick," brings about a fantastic conclusion. The Grace children return to their home only to find out that their mother has been kidnapped by the goblins. They visit the elves and get enlist the help of Spiderwick himself. The children, along with their Griffin and House Brownie, track the goblins to the junkyard where they have a final confrontation with the ogre who is behind all the troubles. A fun read that moves quickly with a lot of action. I highly recommend this to any one who still has a bit of the child in them that believes in faeries.
    • 4/5
      In this final installment of the Spiderwick Chronicles, the Grace children must rescue their mother and save the human world from the evil ogre, Mulgarath. A fitting end to this series, this book was non-stop action from beginning to end. All story lines are brought to a satisfying conclusion and yet the door is left open for a sequel. This series is a perfect introduction to fantasy for young children. My 7yo was on the edge of his seat for the entire series and this will be remembered as one of our favourite read alouds.
    • 5/5
      Our only complaint - the series is over. (although I think I head there are books after this but I need to check it out more). The suspense was built and we were sucked into this book. We could barely put it down wanting to finish it. My 8 year old, who prefers it when I read out loud, even read parts of this book when I had to get up and do something! Great, great, great book!
    • 4/5
      The three children arrive home to their house in a mess and their mother kidnapped. They have to venture into the world of the Goblins to rescue her, questioning their Great Uncle on the way. The fifth book in the series and still a great read, I enjoyed it wholeheartedly even if it only lasted for my lunch break!
    • 5/5
      The final book in the Spiderwick series draws together all of the characters, plots, and family conflict into a mighty confrontation that cleverly resolves everything. The story begins when the Grace children return to their home after their ordeal with the dwarves. They have Mallory back, safe and healthy, but the kids are shaken. They just witnessed a massacre by the goblins and saw Mulgarath for the first time. He had a human prisoner. And now that they are back home, nothing is better, because creatures have evidently ransacked the place and left everything in shambles. Their mother is nowhere to be found. A tearful Thimbletack apologizes for not being strong enough to stop the goblins and Mulgarath. He tells them that the fairy creatures took their mom. In horror, Jared realizes that the prisoner they saw earlier was, in fact, their mother. Now Mulgarath has the field guide and their mom.The children are baffled. As they try to plan their next move, a squealing noise interrupts them, and they realize that the griffin has a prisoner. They rush upstairs, hoping to stop Byron before he eats it, and discover that it isn't a goblin, it's a hobgoblin - Hogsqueal. They save his life, on the condition that he helps them find Mulgarath, and he agrees under duress. Fortunately, Hogsqueal can tell them some information. He know where Mulgarath lives, and he knows that Mulgarath has not an only an army of goblins, but some dragons, too. Though the news has only gotten worse, all three Grace children agree to attack Mulgarath directly. They have no choice - he has their mom.
