This magical adventure blends small-town mystery, heart-pounding danger, and the timeless wonder of believing in something bigger than yourself. Twelve-year-old Walter has never had a real friend — until the Frost family moves into the abandoned building in the center of town. Chris is warm and welcoming, his twin brother Nikolas is sharp-edged and secretive, and their sister Noelle is sweet and shy. Their parents radiate a strange, irresistible kindness. The moment Walter steps inside their crumbling new home, he senses something extraordinary hiding beneath the dust. The Frosts are not what they appear to be. They belong to a legacy of goodness, a lineage that has, for thousands of years, built toys and delivered gifts to children across the world. But where there is great good, there is also great evil. As Walter is drawn deeper into the Frosts’ world, he begins to understand that their arrival in Kings Village is no coincidence… and that he may be the key to stopping a disaster powerful enough to destroy the town and everyone in it. With friendship, courage, and a spark of magic at its core, Walter and the Secret Keeper invites readers into a world where wonder hides in the shadows, danger lurks beneath the floorboards, and one boy’s choices could save everything he loves.
