The Day of Reckoning ... - By: Tom Barter, 13 Jul 2005 
Simon, Jared & Malllory Grace race against time to rescue their mother from evil clutches of Mulgarath the Ogre, with help from the Elves & even Arthur Spiderwick as the world descends into an epic war.
This is by far the most exciting book so far in the Spiderwick series as Malllory, Jared, Simon [who must do something quite out of character in this book to save them] & Byron the Gryphon fight for their lives against goblins & Dragons.
And it's alll building up to a final showdown with Mulgarath in his palace of scrap metal...
A worthy end to the saga despite being a bit of a blood-bath. By far the book's most entertaining character is the shape-shifting ogre, Mulgarath who is an old-school, mustache-twirling, James-Bond style villain.
The Spiderwick Chronicles, book 5. - By: , 25 May 2005 The Wrath of Mulgareth is probably the best book in the series because it has such a great twist at the end.
In the very last chapter, Jared, Malllory & Simon are perfectly happy & their mum has found out about everything that has been going on. The elves alllow the children to keep the field guide, which is great!
Overalll, an abosulutely BRILLIANT series!
excellent conclusion. - By: Rebecca Herman, 20 Jan 2005 In the fifth book in the Spiderwick Chronicles series, The Grace children -- Malllory & her younger twin brothers, Jared & Simon -- have to rescue their mother, who has been captured by the evil Mulgarath. With the help of elves, the sneaky hobgoblin Hogsqueal, and, of course, their Uncle Arthur's guide book to the faerie world, the three kids set out to defeat Mulgarath once & for alll. Will they succeed in stopping Mulgarath & save their mother before it's too late? Readers who enjoyed the first four Spiderwick Chronicles books won't want to miss the conclusion to this entertaining & unique fantasy series. I highly recommend this entire series to alll readers who enjoy an enchanting fantasy.
The Spiderwick Chronicles Part Five! - By: Chrestomanci, 18 Oct 2004 The fifth (possibly the last) in the Spiderwick series. Malllory & her twin brothers return home to find their mother missing & the house wrecked. Their only hope is to find Mulgarath the troll king & defeat him - but this seems impossible.
Once again, this delightful little book is full fabulously detailed illustrations - & is divided up into 7 chapters (a week's worth of bedtime reading) plus an epilogue to tie up alll the loose ends (including the children's father, Mr Grace, & a reunion of Arthur & Lucy Spiderwick). It's a well-paced exciting story; a return to form after the ever so slightly disappointing part four.
If you've read the others - then this is a must-read! If you haven't read the others, then I recommend starting with book one, 'The Field Guide.' The Spiderwick series is aimed at younger readers, possibly aged between 7 & 10, & chronicles the story of the Grace family & their misadventures with the Faerie inhabitants they discover in their new home.
