"Nixie"

The Nixie's Song is from the series of Beyond the Spiderwick Chronicles which is written by Holly Black who has written 3 teen books, 1 graphic novel and 6 other children's books. She lives in Massachusetts.

In this Children’s book genre, there are two kids who have found a legendary Nixie in one of the ponds near their house. The nixie would be looking for help to find her sisters.

It’s a great story which has the main characters trust the magical creatures and also is a humorous one. The breaking of the fourth wall is very well put up. I liked it better than the original Spiderwick Chronicles or about the same. In all, it was a good short story and I will be reading the rest of the new series.
