About this title

Review:

Behind the Scenes of House of Secrets: Battle of the Beasts By Chris Columbus & Ned Vizzini, illustrated by Greg Call

The evolution of Fat Jagger. Fat Jagger went through many revisions—He needed to look more consistent with the way he did in House of Secrets, but he also needed to have the correct number of figures in his hand. The right version is the final one.

The monks of Batan Chekrat cast shadows on the wall of the monastery, showing the Walker siblings their powers. Chris and Ned first saw the sketch on the left and liked it, but they liked the composition better in the middle sketch. The right version is the final one.

From the Back Cover:

Since their last adventure, life in the Walker household is much improved. Dahlia Kristoff (aka the Wind Witch) has been banished. And now the Walkers are . . . rich! The kids are at a new school, Bay Academy Prep, surrounded by the children of bankers and CEOs. But this change in their fortune hasn't brought them happiness. Brendan is having a hard time making friends. Cordelia's worried that her adventures in Denver Kristoff's books have warped her mind—and even her body. And Eleanor just wants things to go back to how they used to be.

But while the Walkers are dealing with their issues, Denver Kristoff is looking for his daughter, Dahlia, and no Walker will be safe until she is found. Summoning her to San Francisco will mean bringing all the danger that comes with her and putting the Walkers back in the crosshairs of a mysterious journey through Kristoff's books. Old enemies will make shocking choices and new friends will prove themselves as the Walkers travel from ancient Rome to World War II to Tibet. They'll learn that The Book of Doom and Desire isn't the only thing that can corrupt. And they'll be tested in ways that cut deeper than before, by Denver Kristoff, the Wind Witch, and each other.
