The War of the Beast, also known as Waaagh!The Beast, was an enormous Ork Waaagh! First encountered by the Imperium in 544. M32.Waged by the Warboss known only as The Beast after he succeeded in uniting much of the Ork race, his Waaagh! Was the largest the Galaxy has ever seen and rampaged across the Imperium, eclipsing even the one Horus defeated during the Ullanor Crusade which earned him. The Paperback of the Battle of the Beasts (House of Secrets Series #2) by Chris Columbus, Greg Call, Ned Vizzini at Barnes & Noble.

Lots and lots of action-adventure violence, most of it in parallel fantasy worlds, most of it with three kids age 9 to 15 in constant mortal danger. One character is possessed by a witch who comes out of her mouth, leaving her as a husk that comes back to life.

Another is nearly blown to pieces while the witch shouts, 'Why can't you just.die! She magically doesn't. Another is stabbed in the heart and comes back with magic. One main character is hung upside-down and covered in cheese, then attacked by rats.

Two men are thrown in front of a San Francisco bus and die. Giant beasts rip apart men in battle (the men come back to life and the beasts are blown to bits). Some deaths from gunfire, tank fire, bombs, and people falling off cliffs. Plus there are a few fistfights, an avalanche, some angry ghosts swirling around, and a mention of men sacrificed to beasts. Parents need to know that Battle of the Beasts is the second book in the House of Secrets series co authored by the late and, director of the first two movies and writer of the scripts for. Kids who dug the first in the series are in for more of the same nonstop action here with the same high dose of action-adventure violence. Luckily for the three kids at the center of the story, they can't be killed by their nemesis the Wind Witch.

She possesses one kid and comes out of her body through her mouth, tries to blow apart another with wind (yelling 'Why can't you just.die! At a 9-year-old), and stabs the third, with no lasting results. One character is hung upside- down, covered in cheese, and set upon by rats, but he survives.

Other characters aren't that lucky: Two men are thrown in front of a bus, some fall from cliffs, some get hit by gunfire and bombs, and some are sacrificed to giant beasts. This sequel's low on other types of mature content: Brands are mentioned in passing, a Brit shouts out 'bloody hell' a few times, Cordelia gets a few flirty kisses, and Brendan spits out an alcoholic drink. One character finds himself tempted by power and fame and learns his lesson about what's really important.

Walker siblings Cordelia, Brendan, and Eleanor made a triumphant return from the dangerous fantasy world of Denver Kristoff novels at the end of. Now they're enjoying newfound wealth and their fancy private school education about as much as a trip to the orthodontist. Brendan's getting bullied, Eleanor doesn't feel like she fits in, and Cordelia is just starting to get asked out by a cute boy when her tooth falls out - embarrassing and weird. Then her skin starts to wrinkle, and then more teeth fall out. What's going on? It's not long before the kids realize the Wind Witch can't possibly be as banished as they'd hoped. Yup, Denver Kristoff's power-mad daughter is back and out for revenge.

Tossing the kids right back into another trio of her father's novels is only the beginning. She needs the Book of Doom and Desire that only the Walkers can summon so she can rule the world. Maybe a couple ravenous tigers in the Roman Colosseum will help persuade the siblings to give her what she wants.

How about Nazi cyborgs? Man-eating monsters, perhaps? BATTLE OF THE BEASTS: HOUSE OF SECRETS, BOOK 2 is another fun fantasy diversion for action-adventure lovers. Book 1 had the pirates and skeletons and swashbuckling mayhem. Book 2 is another laundry list of action elements kids love - plus Nazi cyborgs. It's pretty smart of coauthors Chris Columbus and Ned Vizzini to pick a formula whereby kids move through three fantasy worlds in each book. Sick of Rome and the Nazis already?

Suddenly you're on a mountaintop with strange monks fighting giant beasts.Still, one part of their fun formula doesn't hold up this time: The House of Secrets is abandoned by the Walker kids partway through the story. Is the house out of secrets already?
