The final book in the New York Times bestselling House of Secrets series that was called "a breakneck, jam-packed roller coaster of an adventure" by J. K. Rowling. Created by Hollywood director Chris Columbus (of Harry Potter fame) and bestselling author Ned Vizzini (It's Kind of a Funny Story), with the acclaimed author of the Codename Zero series and the Fourth Stall saga, Chris Rylander.

With their last adventure just barely over, the Walker kids thought life would finally go back to normal. 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. . . .

      Gr 5-8-The saga of the Walker family comes to a close with the third book in the series, which features the kind of literary adventure that fans have come to expect. Picking up not that long after the previous installment (Battle of the Beasts), this title sees Brendan, Cordelia, and Eleanor scrambling to recapture the beasts that have escaped from the world of their father's books. After a series of events trigger even more destruction, the trio is forced to chase down the magical objects that will help seal off the alternate dimensions that threaten San Francisco and the world as they know it. Fans of the previous titles will love spending one last romp with the Walkers and the rest of their family. The authors provide enough backstory to ensure that newcomers will enjoy the ride. Recommend this series to those young readers eagerly anticipating the newest title from Chris Colfer's "The Land of Stories."

      Following the 2013 death of co-author Vizzini, Rylander joins the team for the conclusion to the book-world-hopping House of Secrets series. Starting immediately where Battle of the Beasts (2015) left off, the Walker children are losing their house (and father) to the family patriarch's gambling addiction, and their fictional colossus friend, Fat Jagger, has escaped from his book world into their own--and he's not the only character to cross over. To fix the situation, they need help from an old, dead enemy, but in seeking it, they inadvertently start a zombie apocalypse. In a frantic attempt to repair reality, they return to the pulp-fiction book worlds one more time, in pursuit of three objects that will enable them to permanently seal the realities off from one another before the Wind Witch can lead an army into San Francisco. For a large chunk of this chunky book, the three siblings separate to go after each token, and the constant life-threatening danger (and chapter-ending cliffhangers), paired with the episodic nature of the plot, begins to wear thin. The less the three work together, the more the Wind Witch can use them against one another. The action is nonstop, and likable side characters find themselves paying high prices as the kids skip through Western, science-fiction, fantasy, and other worlds. The children have to work hard for their happy ending. Generally, an enjoyable book with high stakes and a solid ending, despite the mushy middle. (Fantasy. 8-12)
