The novel opens upon an argument among the Grace children on whether or not to destroy the Field Guide, Jared alone insisting that they keep it.
Lucinda's Secret was published on October 1, 2003. After getting grounded by their scared and angry mother for worrying her, they discover that Thimbletack, enraged at Jared's forceful taking of the seeing stone, has again become a Boggart and reverted to his mischievous ways. After they arrive home, Simon convinces them to return to the now empty camp to release the rest of the goblins' victims and they take the injured griffin to the carriage house. Jared convinces the troll to let them escape in return for leading the goblins to him to eat. Hogsqueal distracts the goblins from the children's escape and in return, Jared, Simon and Mallory attract the goblins' attention away from Hogsqueal and then flee, leading the goblins back to the troll. Hogsqueal offers to spit in their eyes, which gives them the Sight without using the stone. While trying to rescue Simon, they meet a prisoner named Hogsqueal, a hobgoblin, who convinces them to help him escape in exchange for his help in rescuing Simon. After encountering a wounded griffin, they find the goblin camp and a plethora of prisoners hanging in cages made from refuse from the trees. Partially protected by the daylight, they are able to avoid it, but lose their fencing weapons.
On their way through the forest, they encounter a troll residing in the river by a decrepit stone bridge. After Jared and Mallory narrowly avoid being captured by the goblins, they go searching for Simon in the woods.
Thimbletack leads Jared and Mallory to the old carriage house where they find a " seeing stone" (a stone with a natural hole in it) which gives the wearer, in this case Jared, the ability to see faeries (called the Sight). After the Grace children ignore Thimbletack's warning to destroy the Guide, Simon is abducted by a group of goblins who live in the woods surrounding the house. The Seeing Stone was published alongside the first book in May 2003. Thimbletack then warns them that the book which they found is dangerous and was not meant to be in the hands of mortals. The novel ends as the Grace children make amends with Thimbletack by building him a new home out of an old birdhouse. The Field Guide is an old hand-written and illustrated book with information on different types of faeries in the surrounding forest. Following a clue in the form of a riddle-poem, Jared finds Arthur Spiderwick's Field Guide to the Fantastical World Around You in a secret compartment in a trunk in the attic. A brownie named Thimbletack, who has lived in the house for years, becomes angry with the Grace children when they destroy his nest inside the walls, and Jared is blamed for the ensuing havoc wrought by the brownie in retaliation including assaults on Mallory, Simon, and the trashing of the kitchen. They later discover that the library connects to the rest of the house via a hidden door in a hall closet. On the first night, they discover a secret library on the second floor using a dumbwaiter. It opens in Maine, where nine-year-old identical twins Jared and Simon and their thirteen-year-old sister Mallory move into the decrepit Spiderwick Estate with their mother, Helen.
