Here are the top five reasons why I plunked my money down for HOUSE OF SECRETS by Ned Vizzini and Chris Columbus (in no particular order):
1) It’s Chris Columbus for goodness sake. How could my Goonie-lovin’ heart say no?
2) It’s Ned Vizzini for goodness sake. A powerhouse of YA lit, he’s one of our faves over here at YABC. And now he’s delved into the world of middle grade? *grabby hands*
3) The blurb from J. K. Rowling: “A breakneck, jam-packed roller coaster of an adventure about the secret power of books, House of Secrets comes complete with three resourceful sibling heroes, a seriously creepy villainess, and barrel loads of fantasy and fear.”
4) The main characters, three siblings, get sucked into a creepy author’s stories — stories that come to life! Um… yes, please?
5) Look at the cover. Just look at it. Look at that creepy house. It begs to be explored.
While I wait, rather anxiously, for this to arrive at my doorstep, enjoy the trailer and order a copy of your own now! Then, yanno, we can chat about it. 🙂
I can’t wait to read this book. It’s on my list of books to read this summer. The house really does have a very nice creepy factor 🙂 You now got me more excited and I might have to move it up on my list LOL

The creep factor is out of this world. The water rushing out the windows reminds me of the start of The Dawn Treader, when the water gushes out of the painting, sucking the Pevensies back into Narnia. And then there’s also something of a Percy Jackson vibe to the cover as well… It’s all made of win!
