Need to know what this book is called help?

Posted at: 2014-06-09 
So I want to know what this book is called and i have been searching for it for a year now. Its been 3 years since i have read the book so this is all i remember. It might be different books since its a series. Fiction Book series for kids or teens A boy whose lonely makes friends with an old woman at the library. Theirs someone trying to kill him? At some point he opens some sort of chest and goes to another portal? He goes to and auction with the librarian. There's some kind of urn. A key in a fireplace at a library? The book was sort of blue It had a puffin or (penguin) logo on the back? I would appreciate it if you'd help me thank you!
