Five kids. One strange guest house. A hundred-year-old Bed that definitely has opinions of its own.
When Leo, Maya, Sam, Toby and Chloe arrive at Ravenmoors, they expect a quiet stay in the English countryside. What they get instead is a house that seems to watch them, a Bed that can take them anywhere, mysterious silver objects that choose their owners, and a growing suspicion that someone has been waiting for them for a very long time.
Before they know it, the Five are racing through theme parks, diving into hidden caves, escaping shadowy agents, stumbling into ancient temples and discovering that the magical objects they carry are part of something much bigger than any of them imagined.
Luckily, they have each other.
They also have Leo, who thinks pretending to be dead is hilarious, Maya, who is brilliant under pressure but has an unfortunate habit of fainting at the worst possible moment, Toby, who can find a joke in almost any disaster, and Winston the parrot, who has absolutely no idea when to stop talking.
As the adventures become more dangerous, the children begin to realise the House is not simply taking them places for fun. The Bed is leading them toward secrets buried for generations, enemies who will do anything to steal its power, and a mystery involving the Seven Stars that their parents are definitely not telling them everything about.
Funny, fast-paced and full of mystery, friendship, magical objects, impossible journeys and narrow escapes, The House That Had Been Waiting for Them is an adventure for readers who love stories where ordinary kids discover they may not be ordinary at all.
Because some houses keep secrets.
And some houses are waiting for you.
