Beyond the Spiderwick Chronicles: The Nixie's Song book 2 (2007) by Holly Black, Illustrator Tony DiTerlizzie (good illustr)
Strongly recommend
Nick Vargas isn’t the coolest boy at school but he keeps his quirkiness to himself. Not Laurie, though. She is his new stepsister and she believes in ‘faeries’ (this spelling is correct) and doesn’t care who knows. One hot afternoon in their Florida neighborhood, Nick and Laurie discover a Nixie (a mythical, female water creature appearing in Scandinavian and Germanic folk tales) named Taola. Nick and Laurie try to relocate her back to where her sisters might be, nearer to the water. When the stepbother and stepsister arrive to inspect the area, they are chased by a Giant who seems only soothed by Taola’s melodic voice. Nick and Laurie are off an adventure to find out how to get rid of the Giant and return the Nixie to her home.
*This book uses imagination and fantasy to weave a captivating story.
