Features & Highlights

  • Which door would you go through to save the world?
  • David, Xander, and Toria King never know what new adventures—and dangers—await them beyond the mysterious portals hidden on the top floor of their new house. They have battled gladiators and the German army, dodged soldiers on both sides of the Civil War, and barely escaped a fierce attack in their own home.
  • Still they are no closer to finding their mother, who was pulled by powerful forces through a portal and lost in time.
  • Their only hope is to turn the tables on Taksidian, the menacing stranger who wants them out of the house so he can use it for his own twisted purposes.
  • But everything changes when a trip into the near future reveals the devastating outcome of Taksidian’s schemes—a destroyed city filled with mutant creatures. It is only then that the Kings realize what they’re really fighting for—the fate of humanity itself.
  • “If you like creepy and mysterious, this is the house for you! Every room opens a door to magic, true horror, and amazing surprises. I loved wandering around in these books. With a house of so many great, haunting stories, why would you ever want to go outside?” —R.L. Stine, bestselling author of the Fear Street and Goosebumps series

A fantastic read ...

I was honestly expecting the books to get not as good as the series went on but this one was just as good! I love the way the story is constantly developing and changing! Fortunately or unfortunately, Xander is still a cocky 15 year old who doesn't listen to adult reason and hasn't changed in his quest to save his mother, even though the circumstances have changed.

Either way.
This book continues to be told from the viewpoint of David, which I wasn't expecting. Because the first book was written from Xander's perspective and the 2nd book was written from David's perspective, I honestly expected the 3rd book to be written from Toria's perspective! I guess I'm still waiting for the narrator perspective to change.

I find it ironic that Xander, the filmmaker, isn't the storyteller! I think it's hilarious. Xander is such the perfect 15 year old that he can't see beyond himself and, therefore, couldn't tell a story to save his life. David feels for others and sees beyond himself, making him the perfect storyteller.

It's been a fantastic series so far! On to book 5!

Outstanding Series!!

Outstanding Series!! I love to read the same books my kids read. I love being transported back to my childhood where books where magic! This series is fantastic. I tell my grandson stories all the time. The stories I tell can get incredibly detailed and fanciful. Lately, I have just been telling him the story-line to this series. It opens up so many worlds of thought. Not since a "Wrinkle in Time" have I enjoyed a book so much. Each new book does a great job of picking up and continuing the story. Can't wait for my son to read them.

Love this series

Each book gets better than the last. I can't put the book down and can't wait for the next one to come out. The author weaves in and out of the story and keeps me on the edge of my seat.
