Which door would you go through to save the world?
David, Xander, and Toria King never know what new adventures—and dangers—await them beyond the mysterious portals hidden on the top floor of their new house. They have battled gladiators and the German army, dodged soldiers on both sides of the Civil War, and barely escaped a fierce attack in their own home.
Still they are no closer to finding their mother, who was pulled by powerful forces through a portal and lost in time.
Their only hope is to turn the tables on Taksidian, the menacing stranger who wants them out of the house so he can use it for his own twisted purposes.
But everything changes when a trip into the near future reveals the devastating outcome of Taksidian’s schemes—a destroyed city filled with mutant creatures. It is only then that the Kings realize what they’re really fighting for—the fate of humanity itself.
“If you like creepy and mysterious, this is the house for you! Every room opens a door to magic, true horror, and amazing surprises. I loved wandering around in these books. With a house of so many great, haunting stories, why would you ever want to go outside?” —R.L. Stine, bestselling author of the Fear Street and Goosebumps series

"I am really liking this series, however i am starting to get annoyed at the lack of common sense in the two boys Zander and David, especially Zander. I feel like he gets him and his family into these problems because he is so gung ho to do stuff, or he just can't wait five minutes. The story i think is still good, there is more suspense now as i near the end of the series. I'm going to keep reading, but I really wouldn't mind smacking Zander upside the head a couple of times."

" I really liked the mystery involved in this story it definitely keeps you guessing from one minute to the next what adventure the boys will encounter. The whole series is based around this crazy house that has managed to steal their mother away and now they are determined to find her and bring her back. The story is continued from one book to the next with five books in all. This was book #4. I'm pulling for the family I hope in the end they are all reunited and get the heck out of that house! But first I hope they tell us why the house was built in the first place. It seems the house contains portals to mostly the past that they must travel through searching for their mother. "
