Publisher Description
Four of the seven Trustees have been defeated and their Keys taken, but for Arthur, the week is still getting worse. Suzy Blue and Fred Gold Numbers have been captured by the Piper, and his New Nithling army still controls most of the Great Maze. Superior Saturday is causing trouble wherever she can, including turning off all the elevators in the House and blocking the Front Door. Amidst all this trouble, Arthur must weigh an offer from Lady Friday that is either a cunning trap for the Rightful Heir or a golden opportunity he must seize--before he's beaten to it!

"Excellent read. It maintained the same fast pace of Sir Thursday and we see the hero accept the power that has passed on to him. Nix weaves the mystery of Arthur, the purpose of Superior Saturday, the enigmatic Lord Sunday and the warring Pied Piper in a great tale of adventure. Definitely worth the read."

Lady Friday Listener Reviews

" This fantasy series has been loads of fun. Only two more to go and that's kind of sad. Arthur is a serious trooper. Would love to see Susie Blue on screen. "

" This was still decent, but I really like the earlier books a lot and thus was a bit disappointed. Leaf got a lot of screen time, and I find her a less-interesting character than Arthur or Suzy even when she (Leaf) isn't spending a whole paragraph calculating the diameter of a circle. I would not have guessed from the rush of the earlier books that Book Five would actually include the equation pi r squared. Really, though, I think that was just part of the main issue I had with this book, which was that Nix puts a hold on the action to describe the world too much. The earlier books have a lot of description, but I think it's handled better. The world he's built is fantastic, and I want to know about it, but I really don't need to know the diameter of a circular building when our point-of-view character has been captured by Lady Friday's henchpeople and is being taken we-don't-know-where. "

" Pretty much like the earlier books. Although it seems that the resolutions seem to come too easy in these later books. I am losing interest in the series, especially since I dont know how long I will have to wait to read the final two books. "
— Marci, 1/11/2014 -
" More adventures of Arthur as he attempts to claim his rightful role as the heir of the architect. Not that he wants the job, but he is rather forced into it. This book seemed to be just setting up later books, and as such it lacked a little bit of punch, but I'll definitely read the next two as they come out. "
— Josh, 1/8/2014 -
" It was better then the ones before! "
— Emily, 1/4/2014 -
" This book was the creepiest one in my opinion. I was really weirded out after I finished. But it was still awesome. "
— Tigerlily, 12/31/2013 -
" This book was a little weird. But all in all a good adventure. "
— Kaden, 12/30/2013 -
" Love this one too! Can't wait for "Saturday" to come out next April! It sure got a bit darker in this episode! "
— Sarah, 11/26/2013 -
" I liked this one, we seem to be getting back on track, but to long - Garth get to the point quicker it doeas not add to the suspence if we waffle for 5 pages. "
— Greg, 11/21/2013 -
" Had the hardest time getting through this one of the whole series. I found that I had almost zero interest in the Arthur side of the plot, and just slightly more interest in Leaf's storyline. I'm glad I only have two books to go. "
— Keith, 10/20/2013 -
" It was okay...not that great though... "
— Jandi, 10/17/2013 -
" A solid addition to one of my favourite young adult series. The Keys to the Kingdom books don't get nearly enough love. "
— Kristel, 3/19/2013 -
" Great book and really spinning an interesting story about this young boy Arthur's life and experiences both within and outside of the "House" "
— Gus, 1/18/2013 -
" I enjoyed the book lady friday because it was thrilling.This book is in a series so i would perfer to read another book of its kind.I would recommened this book to other people because of how great the story line is.My favorite part is when Arthor defeated lady fiday. "
— James, 1/4/2013 -
" A continuing fun chapter in the Kings to the Kingdom series. These are a great filler for those of you waiting for Harry Potter releases (of course, that is almost over). "
— Jackamo, 10/13/2012 -
" It wasn't as good I was hoping it to be but it was still good enough. There were interesting parts to the book though. I thought that the coolest inventions was the paper clothes and the textually charged water. However, some real *cough cough* stuff is happening in the House. "
— Grant, 8/5/2012 -
" Getting rather rote & predicatable. Still love the characters and it is fine for a listen. "
— Kate, 9/14/2011 -
" I like whatever Garth Nix writes. Fact. "
— Nafiza, 8/4/2011 -

" <strong>Lady Friday</strong> <em>by Garth Nix</em><br/><br/>The Keys to the Kingdom series of books are excellent. They're a great read for all ages. I'm eighteen, only on Friday and I definately intend to finish the series! Garth Nix is a great YA author and I look forward to more work from him. "
— Sian, 4/5/2011 -
" Two more books in the series.<br/> "
— Kathy, 4/4/2011 -
" Ooooh, blech. If I didn't love this series so much and if I didn't love the characters so much and if I didn't just CARE, then this book, this book, oy, this book drove me to distraction. "
— Amanda, 3/23/2011 -
" I do believe that I am reading the series a lot faster than I would have imagined and I believe that this is the result of how good the books are. I wont go ranting on like I have with all the rest of the series but this, was like the others, amazing. "
— Yenny, 3/15/2011 -
" This one was okay, but I get the feeling Nix is rushing here, but I do appreciate the effort, especially while juggling the huge cast of characters. "
— Alisa, 1/22/2011 -
" Sometimes I just want the week to end =P Makes me glad there's only 7 days in a week... Bring on the weekend!!! "
