If the thrill for you was Jared, Simon, and Mallory discovering Arthur Spiderwick’s secret guide and stumbling on Thimbletack in the old house, you’ll love how Artemis Fowl rips open the boundary between our world and an underground faerie civilization. Artemis, a 12-year-old mastermind, kidnaps Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon police, sparking a frantic clash of wits, magic, and high-tech trickery. It’s that same "faeries-hide-in-plain-sight" vibe—just bigger, faster, and wickedly clever.

You enjoyed the Grace siblings piecing together the mystery of the Field Guide and the strange goings-on around their aunt’s house; The Fairy-Tale Detectives gives you that same sibling-sleuth energy. Sabrina and Daphne Grimm discover their family’s link to fairy-tale beings and start investigating crimes among the Everafters. Where Jared chased clues left by Arthur Spiderwick, the Grimms interrogate giants and chase down magical suspects—equal parts discovery, danger, and quick-thinking teamwork.

If flipping through Arthur Spiderwick’s sketches and notes on brownies, boggarts, and more was your favorite part, Fablehaven will scratch that itch hard. Kendra and Seth visit their grandparents and learn the estate is a sanctuary for magical beings—satyrs, naiads, imps—with strict rules and dangerous loopholes. Like the Field Guide’s entries, every creature here has specific traits and limits, and figuring them out becomes a lifesaving puzzle when the sanctuary’s protections start to fail.

Part of the fun of The Field Guide is how the story plays with drawings, notes, and hidden knowledge. Warren the 13th and the All-Seeing Eye doubles down on that tactile thrill: lavish illustrations, ornate layouts, and visual puzzles are baked into the mystery as Warren searches his family’s creaky hotel for a legendary artifact. If you loved spotting Thimbletack’s secrets and paging through Arthur’s sketches, you’ll relish decoding the clues right on the page alongside Warren.

If what grabbed you was how so much wonder and menace lurked inside one old house—Jared finding hidden spaces, meeting Thimbletack, and sensing there’s more than meets the eye—Coraline channels that same intimate, uncanny mood. Coraline explores her flat, discovers a bricked-up door, and slips into a chilling mirror-world with an Other Mother who wants to keep her forever. It’s a tight, house-bound mystery full of secret passages, strange neighbors, and quiet bravery.
