Jared's new fairy friend Thimbletack warns him to get rid of the field guide before something terrible happens. Just then something terrible does happen when Simon is kidnapped by invisible monsters. Thimbletack helps Jared find the seeing the stone, which allows him to see all the mysterious creatures of the world, then he and Mallory set out into the woods in an attempt to rescue their brother.
I liked this book more than the first. We get to meet more of the mysterious creatures from the field guide, plus there is a lot more danger and adventure. The thing that bothers me the most though is that it just feels like a couple more chapters of the first book that I read, not a complete book on it's own.
