A fast-paced read with vivid visuals. The three Walker children aren't settling in well to their new school, but soon that becomes the least of their worries as they are pulled into a series of adventures that has them facing a range of villains all from the pages of one author's books. The writing is very visual and in a few places the descriptions may be too vivid for younger readers. The children and supporting characters are all likable and the rapid pace makes for a fun and easy read. (

This is definitely a kids book as the three walker children are propelled into a series of adventures when they are plunged into the plots of books from a library owned by a man named Denver Kristoff. How else could a modern day house end up in the Roman coliseum 2,000 years ago only to have the kids attacked by a band of Nazis from another book. This is for a child who is able to suspend all logic and just go with the wacky twists and turns of the plot. (

Im afraid all you have to do is read my rather dismal review of Book I in this series to know what I think of this book- frankly, I couldn't finish it , which is rare for me.
After Id read the book and written my review I looked for others and found many many insightful comments - it seems a shame the writers didn't do the same. It occurs to me that if perhaps providing ARCs wasn't viewed as solely a marketing tool and writers and editors actually read them and applied some of the constructive criticisms ( altho, Im afraid mine was not very constructive for this series lol)they'd find a better book in the end.
But, this will probably be made into a movie and it may be a lot better in that format.I received an ARC form the publiher, which (obviously)in no way affected my review. (
