Brendan, Cordelia and Nell Walker move into the unsettling Kristoff House and unwittingly awaken the magic that pulses within it. That mansion belonged to a deranged writer, and now the dangers of his tales have escaped the pages: pirates, warriors and a giant stand between the siblings and their parents, while a witch longs to rule the world.
First installment of the House of Secrets trilogy, published in 2014.
Aimed at readers aged 9 to 15, it combines fantasy and adventure starring three siblings in a haunted house.
