The man behind so many classic and epic movies we can't possibly list them all here, Academy Award-winner and New York Times-bestselling author Chris Columbus shares the exciting second installment in the House of Secrets series, Battle of the Beasts. Since the siblings' last adventure, life in the Walker household is much improved--the family is rich and the Wind Witch is banished. But no Walker will be safe until she is found, and summoning her to San Francisco brings all the danger that comes with her and tests the Walkers in ways that cut deeper than before.
