Mister Monday

By: Garth Nix

Narrated by: Allan Corduner

On the first day, there was mystery.

Arthur Penhaligon is not supposed to be a hero. He is, in fact, supposed to die an early death. But then his life is saved by a key shaped like the minute hand of a clock.

Arthur is safe–but his world is not. Along with the key comes a plague brought by bizarre creatures from another realm. A stranger named Mister Monday, his avenging messengers with bloodstained wings, and an army of dog-faced Fetchers will stop at nothing to get the key back–even if it means destroying Arthur and everything around him.

Desperate, Arthur ventures into a mysterious house– a house that only he can see. It is in this house that Arthur must unravel the secrets of the key–and discover his true fate.

enjoyable

Really enjoyed the books as a teenager, still enjoy the books 10 years later

Re-enjoying the story a new way

I am a fan of this series, read the books when I when I was a kid. Now I'm enjoying the story again with these great audiobooks.

Can’t wait for the movie

Great book and great performance by the reader. Hope Hollywood makes a faithful film adaptation someday.

great listen

loved it. awesome reader. the voice inflections and tones were too good. would recommend this book

Pronounciation

Um, I really don't think that's how you pronounce "turquoise." Just a minor nitpick really, the rest of the missing stars is basically because this is my least favorite volume of Keys to the Kingdom.
