Fans of magic, mystery, and adventure will love the first exciting"
Sixty-Eight Rooms Adventure--"the perfect next step for kids who
loved the Magic Tree House series," "and readers who love "Chasing
Vermeer, The Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, " and
"Wonderstruck" Almost everybody who has grown up in Chicago knows
about the Thorne Rooms. Housed in the deep inside the Chicago Art
Institute they are a collection of 68 exquisitely crafted miniature
rooms. Each room is set in a different historic period, and every
detail is perfect. Some might even say, the rooms are "magic."
Imagine--what if on a field trip, you discovered a key that allowed
you to shrink so that you could sneak inside and explore the rooms'
secrets? What if you discovered that others had done so before you?
And that someone had left something important behind?
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.
