The film's main plot is a fantasy-family: Upon visiting their grandmother's (Athura) old house, the Gradle family — Mandi (mom), Will (bullshit older brother), Jared (teenager), Frankie (younger sister) — become entangled in a secret world. TheyAn ancient book (the Spiderwick Field Guide) is found, which describes supernatural creatures and their weaknesses. The book puts the family in danger, and Jared in particular must be protected from a mysterious relative (the Willow).
The power and dilemma of books
Jared reads the book and talks to the fairies; he learns how to help or hinder them. Will is skeptical of the book at first, but later comes to believe it after seeing strange things in reality.Relationships and trust within the family are tested—especially between Mom and the older brothers. Jared's sense of responsibility grows as he must protect Frankie.
Conflict and climax:
The villain attacks the house and the forest; the fairies are captured/threatened. With the help of Jared, Will, and friends (one friend could be Tommy or a local curiosity), fighting or clever tactics are employed.Jared uses the book to identify the villain's weaknesses and devise a plan. The family unites in battle; Will and Mom finally recognize Jared's strength and courage.
Ending :
With the help of the family and the knowledge of the book, the villain is defeated/stopped. Some fairies are released. The house and forest are once again at peace.The importance of books is understandable—they are also a source of risk, so the family has to decide how to keep them safe (a moral thought: knowledge is power—good if used properly, danger otherwise).
