Through field, cave, and forest, this tale has been spun. And three must now finish
what malice has begun. One will bear sword,
and one will rule sky, but one has the answer
hidden deep down inside -- an answer for anger, a balm against rage, freedom for a captive, and the cure for a sage. See who is sstanding when you turn the last page. The Wrath of Mulgarath, the fifth and last volume in the Spiderwick Chronicles is the most exciting book of all. Fearing the Ogre will kill and destroy the good things in the world, Jared, Simon and Mallory flee home to tell their mother everything and ask for her help. Simon's griffin is on the roof trying to kill a goblin, the yard is trashed, the windows smashed and the front door bashed. Inside, the dishes are broken, the furniture in heaps, the beds are in tatters and the house brownie weeps. Mother has been kidnapped by Mulgarath's goblins. Jared speeds to ask the elves and Arthur Spiderwick for advice. Simon and Mallory follow him on the griffin with Thimbletack and Hogsqueal. They must rescue Mom from a castle made of junk protected by bands of armed Goblins and lizard-like dragons whose touch burns and poisons. When they finally reach their unconscious mother in a tower room, treacherous Mulgarath offers to spare Simon, Mallory and Mom if Jared gives up his life. Every second the bragging ogre's magic makes the children's situation more hopeless. Will their courage and cleverness be enough? Even if they survive the vicious magical creatures, Jared is still in serious trouble at school. Will his mother ever trust him again? How will the family manage with dad gone? And, What about Aunt Lucinda, Great uncle Arthur and the field guide that started it all?
