Publisher's Summary

Lady Friday is the fifth fascinating book in The Keys to the Kingdom series by internationally acclaimed Australian author, Garth Nix.

It's Friday, and Arthur Penhaligon has defeated four of the seven trustees, but his week isn't getting any easier. The Piper's New Nithling Army controls most of the Great Maze, and Superior Saturday is creating danger wherever she can.

Worse still, Arthur is cut off from his home and lvoed ones, and risks being trapped in the House for ever.

Lady Friday tempts Arthur with an unexpected offer - but it is a cunning trap for the Rightful Heir to the Kingdom, or a chance he must seize before Superior Saturday or the Piper snatch it first? Who will win the race to discover the secret of the Middle House?

Fun, surreal and entertaining!

I am definitely enjoying these books more the farther I get into the series! And I do recall Lady Friday being particularly great when I read it for the first time years ago. Something about that first scene with the sleepers walking into the emptied mirror pool caught my imagination good on the first read!

Great as with all the others before it!

The book is a great story about different characters- one for each day of the week and the 12 year old protagonist who against his desire having to take them on. Suzy turquoise blue is my favorite character.

excellent series continues.

it's getting a little hard to keep track of all the machinations and players for the youngest listeners but otherwise an excellent story.

Garth Nix is a superior denizen and has the keys to great plots and characters for everyone from the secondary realms. Can't wait for Saturday and Sunday!
