This Bookbag reviewer is a little late in getting to grips with Garth Nix's wonderful Keys To The Kingdom series. Mea maxima culpa, because these books are big - and by big I mean '''big''' - in the playground. Everybody knows them. My older son is on to teen and adult stuff these days, but he still finds time for the Keys To The Kingdom. My younger son hates reading fiction - ''what's wrong with facts?'' - but he's read Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday more than once. Even my five-year-old nephew, who can't read yet, can tell you that Arthur Penhaligon is the Heir to the Architect's Will.
But whatever it is, it doesn't really matter. I'm just an adult, wittering on. They all love these books. And Lady Friday won't disappoint.
My thanks to Harper Collins for sending the book. We also have a review of [[Superior Saturday (The Keys to the Kingdom) by Garth Nix]].
Junior fantasy fans should begin with [[''Mister Monday]]''. Darren Shan's [[Demonata]] series is more gory and less fantastical but will appeal to readers of a similar age, while Terry Pratchett's [[The Carpet People]] makes similarly wry use of the mundane.
