I took the kids and my favorite neighbor to one of my favorite places. We met the authors of The Spiderwick Chronicles, Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi!! WOW!! We spent the evening listening to them talk. They were funny, animated, serious . . . fabulous. They shared where some of their ideas came from.
We watched Tony Diterlizzi draw his incredible pictures!
We got to listen to Holly read from the newest book in the Beyond Spiderwick series.
We were entranced.
Holly and Tony played a trivia game with the kids in the crowd.
And the teenager won the motherload of prizes!! He won the original drawing from earlier in the night, he won the Spiderwick Chronicles movie and he won a book that hasn't been released yet!! It's the entire Spiderwick Chronicles, The Completely Fantastical Edition, all of the series in one book!
Holly and Tony also sat and autographed books and talked with every person.
I can't believe how magical the night was. In Spiderwick terminology, it was completely fantastical!
Love,
Wendy
