When Brendan, Cordelia and Nell move to Kristoff House they have no idea that they are about to unleash the dark magic locked within. For the house once belonged to a crazed writer, whose stories have come to life. Literally. Now the Walker kids must battle against deadly pirates, bloodthirsty warriors and a bone-crunching giant. If they fail they will never see their parents again and a power-mad Witch will take over the world. No pressure then . . .

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Standard. Outline:- From legendary Hollywood director Chris Columbus (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer`s Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets) and bestselling author Ned Vizzini (It`s Kind of a Funny Story) comes this first book in an epic new fantasy series. Brendan, Eleanor, and Cordelia Walker once had everything: two loving parents, a beautiful house in San Francisco, and all the portable electronic devices they could want. But everything changed when Dr. Walker lost his job in the wake of a mysterious incident. Now in dire straits, the family must relocate to an old Victorian house that used to be the home of occult novelist Denver Kristoff - a house that feels simultaneously 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. Their parents? Gone. Their friends? A world away. And they aren`t alone. 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 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 it`s not just their family that`s in danger . . . it`s the entire world.-> the publisher of this PAPERBACK book is HarperCollins The date of this copy is 2013 booksalvation have grade it as Very Good and it will be shipped from our UK warehouse This book is from the Series.
