Hailed as "a breakneck, jam-packed roller coaster of an adventure" by J. K. Rowling, this New York Times bestseller is the first installment in the explosive tween fantasy series by famed Hollywood director Chris Columbus (of Harry Potter fame) and bestselling author Ned Vizzini (It's Kind of a Funny Story). Siblings Brendan, Eleanor, and Cordelia Walker once had everything they could ever want. But everything changed when Dr. Walker lost his job. Now the family must relocate to an old Victorian house, formerly the home of occult novelist Denver Kristoff--a house that simultaneously feels creepy and too good to be true. By the time the Walkers realize that one of their neighbors has sinister plans for them, they're banished to a primeval forest way off the grid. Bloodthirsty medieval warriors patrol the woods around them, supernatural pirates roam the neighboring seas, and a power-hungry queen rules the land. To survive, the siblings will have to be braver than they ever thought possible--and to fight against their darkest impulses. The key may lie in their own connection to the secret Kristoff legacy. But as they unravel that legacy, they'll discover that it's not just their family that's in danger . . . it's the entire world.

This wacky, irreverent novel stars an uncouth, smart, nerdy, but sympathetic antihero. His dilemma is how to make himself attractive and sincere to the object of his affections.

Bogverdenen og den virkelige verden er ved at smelte sammen, og den onde Vindheks er opsat på at invadere den virkelige verden med sin hær af barske krigere, nazicyborgs og mange andre monstre. Cordelia, Brendan og Eleanor er derfor igen nødt til at bevæge sig ind i den skræmmende bogverden for at forsøge at forpurre Vindheksens planer. Men det er langt fra nemt, når man ikke ved hvem man kan stole på.

Det er nu seks uger siden Cordelia, Brendan og Eleanor Walker vendte hjem til deres forældre i Kristoff House. Men deres vanskeligheder er langt fra forbi. Will er forsvundet og far er næsten aldrig hjemme, mens Cordelia er begyndt at blive mærkelig og Brendan har svært ved at falde til på den nye skole. Da Eleanor oven i købet bliver kidnappet af Stormkongen, lyder startskuddet til endnu et hæsblæsende eventyr med Walker-børnene.

Cordelia, Brendan og Eleanor Walker havde engang det hele: to kærlige forældre, et smuk hus i San Francisco, og alt det elektroniske isenkram man kan ønske sig. Men det ændrer sig, da deres far Dr. Walker bliver fyret fra sit arbejde. Familien må finde et andet sted at bo, og de falder for Kristoff House, som en kendt forfatter engang har ejet. De når dog knap nok at flytte ind før alt bliver uhyggeligt og en mystisk, gammel dame dukker op. ”House of Secrets” er første bind i en episk fortælling, der tager dig med på et utroligt eventyr, fyldt med kampe, overnaturlige skurke og søgen efter Undergangen og ønskernes bog.
