Lady Friday (Keys to the Kingdom, Book 5)

Garth Nix

Scholastic Paperbacks, 2008

Encore! Encore!
Garth Nix has captured the attention of my sons and made reading something they actually want to do. I catch my ten year old hiding under his covers at night with a book-light to finish these books. Any book that captures the attention of boys in this video game age ...

Above the Veil (The Seventh Tower, Book 4)

Garth Nix

Scholastic Paperbacks, 2001

Above the Veil
I am so thankful that Amazon had this book plus the last two. I had purchased the first three at Barnes and Noble thinking that was all there was to this story. That was not the case so I was in a panic trying to read the "rest of story" and no other book stores had ...

Superior Saturday (The Keys To The Kingdom)

Garth Nix

Scholastic Press, 2008

Superior Saturday, a superior story
excelent book, 6th in series. Difficult to highlight the general story without giving away the story so far within the past five books. Generally Arther, a run of the mill human boy, is transfered to a mystical house somewhere outside of the known universe, in which ...

The Violet Keystone (The Seventh Tower, Book 6)

Garth Nix

Scholastic Paperbacks, 2001

just a side note
I don't think it's a spoiler to say that Tal and Milla do not form a romance at any point in this series. In fact, I think the story is stronger for it. It is often too easy to become distracted by the element of romance, to the point where whoever the main ...

Mister Monday (Keys to the Kingdom, Book 1)

Garth Nix

Scholastic Paperbacks, 2003

a fresh new look at children's fantasy
I have always had a particular interest in children/teen fantasy. I normally am an adult fantasy reader, but sometimes it is nice to read a book that isn't trying to play off like the real world. This book is such a clever, compelling read that I was sorely ...

Sir Thursday (Keys to the Kingdom, Book 4)

Garth Nix

Scholastic Paperbacks, 2007

a verry good book (A++)
Sir Thursday was an interesting book. You will have to read the previous three books to enjoy it thoroughly. Keys to the Kingdom is a fantasy series, a very good one. The book starts off at a council of war between Dame Primus, Arthur and all of his subjects. When they ...

Into Battle (The Seventh Tower, Book 5)

Garth Nix

Scholastic Paperbacks, 2001

Very, Very Good
I am an avid reader of science fiction, fantasy, romance and historical novels. I found this entire series to be exceptional. I am an adult and these seemed to be written for a younger generation but I could not put these books down! If you would like some light ...

The Abhorsen Trilogy Box Set

Garth Nix

HarperTeen, 2005

Familiar yet never cliche
Nix's world is always familiar enough enough to be comfortable but always different enough to feel completely fresh. His style leaves a hint of mystery to his characters and world that carries through the entire trilogy. I bought it becuase a friend told me that it has ...

Abhorsen (Abhorsen Trilogy)

Garth Nix

HarperTeen, 2008

Mogget to save the day?
Like the first 2 books in the Abhorsen trilogy this book was excellent. It starts off a bit tragic. However, this is just the beginning of the adventure. In this book you will see Lirael become a mighty Abhorsen. She is a very powerful main character and very ...
