Hailed as “a breakneck, jam-packed roller coaster of an adventure” by J. K. Rowling, this New York Times bestseller is the first installment in the explosive tween fantasy series by famed Hollywood director Chris Columbus (of Harry Potter fame) and bestselling author Ned Vizzini (It’s Kind of a Funny Story). Siblings Brendan, Eleanor, and Cordelia Walker once had everything they could ever want. But everything changed when Dr. Walker lost his job. Now the family must relocate to an old Victorian house, formerly the home of occult novelist Denver Kristoff—a house that simultaneously feels 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. 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 to 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 that it’s not just their family that’s in danger . . . it’s the entire world.

But things don’t remain calm for long . . . especially when the colossus Fat Jagger turns up in San Francisco Bay—and he’s in danger! With the police closing in, the Walkers must figure out how to save their giant friend. When a frost beast is spotted in Santa Rosa—and more mystical creatures start appearing all over America—it’s soon clear that the characters from Denver Kristoff’s works are invading the real world. It’s up to Brendan, Eleanor, and Cordelia to reenter the book world one last time to keep the worlds from colliding, causing mass destruction. They will have to track down three Worldkeepers hidden in Kristoff’s books—magical items that when used together will seal the worlds off for good. But the Walkers’ first move leads them straight into the Wild West, with lethal outlaws and lawless deputies—and that’s just the beginning. They’ll encounter dinosaurs, aliens, killer robots, and the Wind Witch herself—with new friends and old—and be faced with some of the deadliest choices they’ll ever have to make. The scariest thing of all could be deciding who to trust, since everyone is hiding something. . . .

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.

Dall’ultima avventura, la vita della famiglia Walker è molto migliorata. Dahlia Kristof, conosciuta come la Strega del Vento, è stata spedita in esilio e ora i Walker sono persino diventati ricchi e possono permettersi una prestigiosa scuola, la Bay Academy Prep. Ma queste novità, anche se entusiasmanti, non portano la felicità sperata. Mamma e papà litigano spesso; Brendan sta attraversando un momento difficile perché non riesce a farsi nuovi amici; Cordelia è perseguitata dalla sensazione che il viaggio nei libri di Denver Kristof abbia trasformato per sempre la sua mente e anche il suo corpo, e Eleanor è stufa di tutte queste novità e vuole solo che la sua famiglia torni a essere quella di una volta. Come se non bastasse, mentre i Walker sono presi dai loro problemi, Denver Kristof è alla ricerca di sua figlia Dalia per riportarla a San Francisco. Così i ragazzi finiscono ancora una volta nel mirino della Strega del Vento e di suo padre, il Re della Tempesta, certi di sapere come affrontare anche questa prova. Ma non c’è limite alle risorse dei loro nemici…

Após a derrota de Dahlia Kristoff, a vida dos Walker melhorou bastante. A Bruxa do Vento foi banida e eles agora estão ricos! Mas essa mudança no destino não trouxe a felicidade que eles esperavam e os irmãos estão tendo dificuldades em se encaixar na sua nova escola, Bay Academy. Brendon não consegue fazer amigos, Cordelia suspeita que suas aventuras podem ter afetado sua mente e Eleanor só quer que tudo volte a ser como antes. Enquanto eles lidam com essas questões, Denver Kristoff procura por sua filha, Dahlia, e nenhum Walker estará a salvo enquanto ele não a encontrar. Evocá-la a São Francisco significa trazer à tona todos os perigos ligados a ela e arrastar os Walker de volta aos misteriosos mundos dos livros de Kristoff. Antigos inimigos farão escolhas surpreendentes e novos amigos precisarão se provar dignos de confiança conforme os Walker viajam de uma ponta do mundo a outra.

Snälla föräldrar, ett vackert hus i San Francisco och alla tekniska prylar de kan önska sig. Men allting förändras när deras pappa förlorar sitt jobb och familjen tvingas flytta in i det märkliga Kristoff House – ett hus som till en början verkar för bra för att vara sant men snart ger dem kalla kårar... Det dröjer nämligen inte länge förrän de inser att huset en gång tillhörde en galen författare, vars historier har vaknat till liv. Bokstavligt talat. Nu tvingas syskonen slåss mot livsfarliga pirater, blodtörstiga krigare och en benknäckande jätte. För att överleva måste de vara modigare än någonsin förut – och samtidigt kämpa mot sina egna mörka sidor.
