House of Secrets

Author: Chris Columbus 

Genre: Adventure, Fantasy, Historical Fiction, Realistic Fiction

What this book is about: This book is about three kids who are really smart for their age, but each in a different way. Cordelia is super smart, a great big sister, and reads so much Brendon thinks his head will explode. Brendon, on the other hand, is a total gamer. But he rises to the task of taking care of his sisters. Eleanor is really caring toward other beings, and she doesn't really talk much. But when she does, it's always something important to say.

The Walkers move into a new house, and find that this house, unlike their other ones, is really interesting! But the house has its secrets. It used to belong to Denver Kristoff, a mysterious author. And they definitely have weird neighbors. Like one that may or may not have swept their new house into a novel written by (who else?) Denver Kristoff. She calls herself the Wind Witch, and she has one request: find the Book of Doom and Desire and bring it to her. That book has the power to grant your most greedy wishes. Any time you commit an act if selfishness or greediness, the book gets nearer. But it comes with a curse: if you even look at the pages, your life is literally being ripped from you. And they aren't alone in the book - besides looking for a nearly impossible to find book, the three children have to deal with giants, wolves, pirates, spells, warriors. Oh, and occasional death threats and kidnappings. If they find the book, they can go home. But the question is: Where IS home?
