'If it wasn't for me, you'd be dead right back!' 'I'll show you final.' Mallory took a step toward him. 'I decide what happens to it, and that's final!' How dare she call him selfish? She was just too chicken to keep it. 'Stop being so selfish!' Mallory shouted. 'And they wouldn't know about us,' Mallory said. We wouldn't have known about the troll or the goblins or anything.' 'We wouldn't have even known there was a brownie in the house without it. Jared didn't want to think about Thimbletack. 'Remember what Thimbletack told us? Arthur's field guide is too dangerous!'

'We don't even know what's wrong with the water.' Jared glared at the sink, anger coiling in his gut. 'We should get rid of that stupid book,' Mallory repeated, 'before someone gets hurt - or worse.' 'Weird stuff was happening before we found it!' Jared objected. 'I mean that weird things started happening when we found that book, and they're not going to stop until we get rid of it.' 'Why do you think all this stuff is happening?' 'Then why did you make me drink it?' Jared demanded. 'Are you crazy?' he yelled between bouts of coughing. The liquid burned his mouth and he spat half of it onto the tile floor. Jared took a sip of the water and choked. Anyone else would be wary of a half-starved griffin recuperating in their carriage house. 'For Byron,' Simon said, dumping it into a huge bowl and adding corn flakes. 'What's that?' Jared asked, peering at the meat. The top part was a sickly gray, but the rest of it still looked frozen.

The microwave beeped and Simon jumped up to remove a giant mound of chopped meat. Did they spit in it? Why would Mallory want him to drink water? 'Take a sip,' Mallory said, handing the glass to him. If all they wanted was to show him how pretty the stupid glass looked, he was going to break something. Both of Jared's siblings seemed transfixed. Somehow Jared's shoelaces had been tied together.ĭownstairs Mallory was standing in the kitchen, holding a glass up to the window so that the water caught the sunlight and cast a rainbow on the wall. He fell immediately, hitting his hand and knee against the hardwood floor. He stood up, tucking the Guide under his arm, and took a step toward the stairs. Just thinking about Simon being held by goblins - while Thimbletack stood around talking in riddles - made Jared angry enough to almost break his laces with the force of the knot. The thing was, he knew that if everything were to happen all over again, he would do exactly what he had done. He'd tried to give back the stone, but the brownie hadn't wanted it. He wished that he could find a way to apologize to Thimbletack. Jared tied the laces of his muddy shoe over an inside-out sock. If Jared hadn't forced Thimbletack to give up the seeing stone, Simon might have been roasted over a spit in a goblin camp. 'Now you know how it feels,' she kept saying. Mom blamed Simon's new kitten for the last, but Jared knew better. So far his eyelashes had been cut, his shoes had been filled with mud, and something had urinated on his pillow. Mostly, though, Jared just wound up the victim of some new prank. At other times Jared thought he saw him out of the corner of his eye. Every so often he could hear the little brownie in the wall. Since the morning after the Grace kids had returned with the griffin, Thimbletack had been out to get Jared. Jared had consulted the book carefully, not sure any of it would help much. Arthur Spiderwick's Field Guide to the Fantastical World Around You lay atop his pillow, open to a page on protective devices. He tried to do the same with his jeans, but that was beyond him. Jared Grace took out a red shirt, turned it inside out, and put it on backward. Chapter One: IN WHICH Many Things Are Turned Inside Out
