...Friday


Lady Friday

Arthur Penhaligon, boy from the human realms who has suddenly found himself the "Rightful" Heir to the Architect's House, has defeated Mister Monday, Grim Tuesday, Drowned Wednesday, and Sir Thursday (All from the previous books). Obtaining a sorcerous key and a part of the Architect's living Will with each victory. Now, as he prepares to face Lady Friday so that he can finish this cosmic business, saves his family, and get back to having a normal life, he is extremely surprised by receiving a message from Lady Friday saying that she has given up her throne, and has left her part of the Will as well as her key in her portion of the Middle House, for whoever finds it first. Arthur has to race Superior Saturday and the Piper (enemies he encountered in his previous adventure) to Lady Friday's Scriptorium (a room in a monastery for storing, copying, illustrating, or reading manuscripts) and find the disguised artifacts.

Help provided from his old friends, Suzy Turquoise Blue and Fred Initial Numbers Gold. But Arthur must be cautious of them, because they are also Piper's children (beings whose will's can be taken over by the Piper if he is close enough for them to hear him give an order).

Meanwhile, back in the Secondary Realms, Arthur's friend Leaf is witness to what Lady Friday has been doing -- which is, making off with coma patients from hospitals and taking them through a portal to another world, another
planet, where she stores them for her to later experience, a practice that Arthur learns about only after making his journey to the Middle House and encountering and assisting the Winged Servants of the Night in their battle against the Artful Loungers, as well as Friday's Dawn and his contingent of Gilded

I like this book because it shows adventure
