| abstract | - Simon carries a soft spot for animals in his heart and has many pets like Jeffrey and Lemondrop, his mice. He also helps care for the fantastical creatures and is fiercely loyal to Jared, since he is the peacemaker of the three children.
- Simon Everett Grace is the older twin brother of Jared Grace, the younger brother to Mallory Grace and son of Helen and Richard Grace. He also has an uncle, Terrence. Simon is one of the main characters in The Spiderwick Chronicles. He is somewhat nerdy and is respectful of authority. He cares for animals and faeries greatly, even to the extent of housing and nurturing a griffin. He is calm, shy, and caring, and known for protecting his twin on many occasions. Amongst the faeries, Simon is friends with Thimbletack the brownie, and a hobgoblin, Hogsqueal, whom he rescues, as well as a griffin, Byron, who in a way becomes his pet after he takes care of him and houses him. His enemies consist of Mulgarath the ogre, goblins that were Mulgarath's "helpers", and Red Cap, Leader of the goblins. In the film, he and Jared are portrayed by British actor Freddie Highmore. In the video game, Highmore also voices the twins. In the upcoming stage musical, the role will be played by Nic Rouleau.
