Book two in the bestselling HOUSE OF SECRETS series. Get ready for another action-packed adventure!

The sequel to the New York Times bestselling House of Secrets—hailed by J. K. Rowling as "a breakneck, jam-packed roller coaster of an adventure"—this second installment by Hollywood director Chris Columbus (of Harry Potter fame) and bestselling author Ned Vizzini (It''s Kind of a Funny Story) is full of even more explosive twists and turns. Since the siblings'' last adventure, life in the Walker household is much improved—the family is rich and the Wind Witch is banished. But no Walker will be safe until she is found. Summoning her to San Francisco brings all the danger that comes with her, and puts the Walkers in the crosshairs of a mysterious journey through Denver Kristoff''s books. As the Walkers travel from ancient Rome to World War II to Tibet, they are tested in ways that cut deeper than before—by Denver Kristoff, the Wind Witch, and one another. Fantasy fiction fans who enjoy Rick Riordan will find much to love in this thrilling and action-packed novel.

I tre fratelli Walker hanno tutto: genitori premurosi, una grande casa, tutti i videogiochi che desiderano. Ma la loro vita cambia all’improvviso quando il padre, un famoso chirurgo, perde il lavoro. La famiglia, costretta a cambiare casa, approda a Kristoff House, luogo affascinante e misterioso costruito un secolo prima da Denver Kristoff, uno scrittore svitato con un debole per l’occulto. In casa Kristoff le stranezze non tardano a mostrarsi: i fratelli Walker si ritrovano imprigionati nello strampalato mondo dei libri di Kristoff e devono mettercela tutta per venirne fuori affrontando pirati, squali, giganti e altre mostruose avventure che si rincorrono in un turbine mozzafiato.

La mansión de los secretos, de Chris Columbus, escritor y director de exitosas películas como las primeras tres entregas de Harry Potter o Gremlins, y Ned Vizzini, es una estupenda novela de literatura infantil, con buen ritmo, ágil y llena de acción. Hasta hace poco tiempo, Cordelia, Brendan y Eleanor Walker tenían una vida de ensueño: un padre y una madre maravillosos, una gran casa en San Francisco y lo último en tecnología inteligente. Pero todo cambió cuando su padre, un prestigioso cirujano, perdió su trabajo como resultado de una violenta transgresión que nadie consigue explicarse. Como consecuencia de ello la familia tiene que mudarse a la Casa Kristoff, un lugar misterioso construido casi un siglo atrás por Denver Kristoff, un perturbado escritor de fantasía, amante del ocultismo. De repente, los hermanos, y la casa, se ven catapultados al corazón de un peligroso y extraño mundo nacido de la imaginación del propio Kirstoff, con la misión de rescatar un oscuro libro de poderes inusitados, descubrir la historia secreta de la familia Walker y salvar a sus padres... y quizás incluso al mundo. Reseñas: «Una aventura que viaja a toda velocidad, repleta de acción, con sube y bajas constantes sobre el poder de los libros. La mansión de los secretos es una obra completa, con tres héroes muy recursivos, una malvada muy espeluznante y montones de fantasía y miedo.» J. K. Rowling «Una historia que avanza rápido... gustará a los lectores inteligentes que quieran participar en aventuras literarias... Un libro que no puedes soltar, divertido y sin duda popular.» Booklist
