"If 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 (Goosebumps)
"Dreamhouse
Kings is a non-stop action ride into history's
wildest adventures. It's my new favorite series!"
-Slade Pearce, age 14, actor
(October Road, Air Buddies,
Yours, Mine & Ours)
"A powerhouse storyteller delivers
his most fantastic ride yet!"
-Ted Dekker, bestselling author of Chosen
and Infidel
"To call the Dreamhouse Kings series a young adult novel is not to do this splendid tale justice. With Harry Potter sadly retired, here is a series ready to step in and fill that massive void. It whisks us away across a brilliant landscape of imagination and adventure. A new and future classic in the world of young adult fiction."
-Jon Land, (The Seven Sins: The Tyrant Ascending)

Whirlwind: A Review
|
Whirlwind is the fifth book in the Dreamhouse Kings series that follows the adventure of brothers Xander
and David King as they travel through time via portals found in a secret
hallway in their creepy, new house. And yes, that's all I'm saying about the
plot because the story is just too good to be described through any measly
attempt on my part.
What I will divulge to Robert Liparulo's salivating fans is
this: When I read Timescape I was quick
to crown it my favorite of the series so far. Of course that was before I read Whirlwind, and ladies and gentlemen we have
a new favorite!!
I consistently
find myself in awe of Liparulo's ability to make each story better in this
series, always ratcheting up the tension and mystery, giving us some answers
here and there and more and more questions to keep up guessing.
As we've come to expect in previous installments, the time
travel scenes are loads of fun brimming with wonder and possibility. What sets
this book apart from the rest is the huge twist at the end that completely
changes the course of this story. I never saw this coming, and I love the
direction Liparulo is moving this story and the characters that I have fallen
head over heels for.
Frenzy is the
upcoming last book in this series, and if the events of Whirlwind are any indication, we are in for
quite a ride. If you aren't reading the Dreamhouse Kings novels you are truly missing out on top notch
storytelling, dazzling adventure, and heroic characters worth cheering for.
Young or old, it doesn't matter. The Dreamhouse Kings series is a must read for any true fiction addict.
-Jake Chism, FictionAddict.com More Reviews!
One of the top anticipated books of December.
-GoodReads.com
"Amazing! How can Liparulo keep improving when each book seems to be about as good as it can get? This is the best one yet."
-ChristianManifesto.com
"Thrilling from start to finish!"
-Romantic Times

Whirlwind's Dream the Scene Winner!
|
 Eleven-year-old Tanner Barrett won an iPod Nano for suggesting that the Kings' find themselves facing Hannibal's army in the Alps. It's a scene I wrote into Whirlwind. What David and Xander do there is as wild and crazy as being there in the first place!
More winners will be announced soon.
