Synopsis

House of Secrets : Battle of the Beasts
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 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.
