Soon after moving in, Jared discovers Arthur Spiderwick’s Field Guide to the Fantastical World Around You, a book documenting hidden magical creatures. By reading the guide, Jared inadvertently attracts the attention of dangerous creatures, including a sinister ogre named Mulgarath, who wants the book to control the magical world.

The siblings must join forces to protect the guide from Mulgarath and other supernatural beings. Along the way, they encounter fairies, goblins, and other magical creatures, learning about the hidden dangers and wonders of the magical world. The film explores themes of bravery, family bonds, and the importance of believing in the unseen as the Grace siblings fight to protect their world from dark forces.
