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.
