'Battle Of The Beasts' Ascertains Return Of Chris Columbus & Ned Vizzini To The 'House Of Secrets'

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone director Chris Columbus has treaded the world of children's book writing with House of Secrets and he simply proved how variedly talented he is. But of course his book writing career was made possible with the help of his co-author Ned Vizzini.

Now there is no stopping this duo as they are back to continue the story of the siblings Brendan, Eleanor, and Cordelia Walker with House of Secrets: Battle of the Beasts. If J.K. Rowling was impressed of the first novel in this series, who are we to be skeptical?

Here is the cover of House of Secrets: Battle of the Beasts by Chris Columbus and Ned Vizzini.

Synopsis

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, and 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'll be tested in ways that cut deeper than before, by Denver Kristoff, the Wind Witch, and each other.

Fantasy-fiction fans who enjoy Rick Riordan will find much to love in this thrilling and action-packed novel!

House of Secrets: Battle of the Beasts by Chris Columbus and Ned Vizzini will be available on March 25, 2014.
