Book summaryIn the middle of a life-threatening asthma attack, Arthur Penhaligon thinks he's hallucinating when an astonishing pair materializes next in front of him. The bizarre Mr. Monday and his henchman, Sneezer, are unlike any people--if they even are people--that Arthur has ever seen. Ending up with a strange, sharp clock hand that has extraordinary powers, and a tiny book that opens and changes size with a will of its own, Arthur discovers that his fate lies in the ancient mysteries of another realm. When a deadly flu begins ravaging the people of his town, Arthur learns that he must take a dangerous path in pursuit of the enigmatic magic needed to save his entire world. The first book in the KEYS TO THE KINGDOM series.Media Reviews"With a likeable hero, fast-paced plotting and a plethora of mystical oddities (e.g. Mister Monday only has 'dominion over everything' on Mondays), this series is sure to garner a host of fans." -- Publishers Weekly "Touches of humor lighten moments of dark existential suspense, and lyrical language and imagery add magic to the fantastical mechanics of Monday's world. Theology and mythology twine together in a plot that occasionally tangles but eventually reaches a smoothly braided finish." -- Janice M. Del Negro, Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books Publisher NotesSeven days. Seven keys. Seven virtues. Seven sins. One mysterious house is the doorway to a very mysterious world -- where one boy is about to venture and unlock a number of fantastical secrets. This is another thrilling, triumphantly imaginative series from Garth Nix, the best-selling author of The Seventh Tower, Sabriel, and Lirael.
