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. A Magical House of Secrets: When the Walker siblings move into the creepy former home of a fantasy novelist, they discover it's more than just a house—it's a gateway to another world. A Perilous Sibling Adventure: Brendan, Eleanor, and Cordelia must rely on each other to survive, facing down their fears and darkest impulses in a land where they are hunted at every turn. Worlds of Warriors and Pirates: From bloodthirsty medieval knights to supernatural pirates on the high seas, the Walkers are plunged into the dangerous worlds of Denver Kristoff’s imagination. A Dangerous Secret Legacy: To find their way home, the siblings must unravel the mysterious Kristoff legacy, a quest that could save not only their family, but the entire world. Review: What an adventure! - This was a thrilling adventure! I loved the growth that all three main characters, Cordelia, Brendan, and Eleanor experience throughout the novel. The illustrations were incredible and really added something to the story. The imagery is colorful and vivid, the scenes that Columbus and Vizzini set seem to come to life on their own. I can't wait to see what else the duo has in store for the Walker family. Review: Wonderful read! - I enjoyed this story because the characters and plot was new, unique and refreshing Plus, it had constant action. I heard about it from watching the Judge Mathis' show. I'm so glad I read it. Wonderful. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #547,983 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #624 in Children's Paranormal Fantasy #942 in Children's Travel Books (Books) #2,244 in Children's Siblings Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 626 Reviews | ## Images ![House of Secrets: A New York Times Bestselling Fantasy Adventure Series for Kids (Ages 8-12) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/613Uz14XX7L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What an adventure! *by N***T on January 8, 2015* This was a thrilling adventure!

This is a good book *by T***8 on May 19, 2013* Chris Columbus writes a children's book. This is enough to capture the interest of any modern film fan and any child of the eighties who grew up watching the classic movies such as The Goonies and Gremlins. Columbus is an excellent film maker but can he write in the novel format. With the help of Ned Vizzini Columbus wrote this novel which he has said is a thematic sequel to The Goonies. The plot revolves around three children. Cordelia, Eleanor and Brendan all typical 2K13 era children. Their father looses his job and the family is forced to move into a old mansion that was owned by Denver Kristoff, a pulp fiction writer from the early 20th Century. After an encounter with a creepy neighbor and an angel statue that gave me the creeps they are sent into the world of the Kristoff novels and must use their wits to get out of it. I really thought that this novel was good. The characters were vivid and there was a lot of action, chapters left you wanting to know what happens next. Columbus had sent the manuscript to Rowling who gave advice about developing the characters and slowing the speed slightly. The advice worked because the novel does not move too fast and you feel sympathy for each characters different situation when dealing with their tests and tribulations as characters in this novel. I think the novel was trying to be a specific length, and toward the end it did seem to almost add on a few more action scenes so that it would reach the proper page length. I give this book four stars because I really enjoyed it and I am anxious to read book 2. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/24794088-house-of-secrets-a-new-york-times-bestselling-fantasy-adventure](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/24794088-house-of-secrets-a-new-york-times-bestselling-fantasy-adventure) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-13*
