The Spiderwick Chronicles originated as a book series centered around 3 children who move into their ancestral home. While looking around the house, they find their great-great-uncle Arthur Spiderwick’s Field Guide. This thrusts them into the Invisible World, taking the children on an adventure to defend this Guide from Mulgarath. It’s not the only book-based series coming to the platform, too. With Disney+ Day fast approaching, we’ll see if any more news comes out.
