As a kid I loved the tv-show House of Anubis (actually the original Het Huis Anubis, in Dutch but same thing). What I really liked about it is that it was an old house with an attic full of secrets and in the basement there was kind of a magical Egyptian tombe.
So, now I'm looking for a book that has some kind of secret room or something with similar vibes. Genre doesn't really matter (no horror though) and adult/YA/middle grade is all good.
What I'm not really looking for is something like Narnia, where once the secret passage is discovered, you're just in a different world. More like in the Barbie and the twelve dancing princesses, where the secret room/passage/garden is part of the whole story.
Thanks in advance! Extra thanks to people who include an explanation of why I should read a certain book ❤️
