Grim Tuesday

This second thrilling installment of The Keys to the Kingdom, by internationally acclaimed Australian author, Garth Nix, delivers high-energy, visually stunning adventure fantasy of dazzling scope and originality.
Arthur Penhaligon is supposed to be in bed – after all, it’s only twelve hours since he saved the world. But there’s no time to rest. Grim Tuesday has laid claim to the Lower House and the First Key, and now his misshapen servants are repossessing Arthur’s world and plunging it into financial disaster. To stop them, Arthur must venture back into the House – that surreal, unpredictable realm where he almost met his death.
With companions old and new, Arthur embarks on a heart-stopping adventure that will take him from the dismal Pit of the Far Reaches, all the way to the heart of a sun and back. Racing furiously against time, Arthur must find the second piece of the Will, claim the Second Key, and save both his own world and the House from the destructive greed of Grim Tuesday.

Garth Nix

Garth Nix was born in Melbourne on a Saturday, and got married on a Saturday to his publisher wife, Anna. So Saturday is a good day. He used to write on a Sunday, because over the years he had a number of day jobs – as bookseller, editor, PR consultant, literary agent – that nearly always started on a Monday (and far too early). Tuesday often brings luck – like the news that Abhorsen had hit The New York Times best-seller list. When Garth was in the Australian Army Reserve, Wednesday was training night. Thursday is memorable, because that’s when his son, Tom, was born. Now that Garth is a full-time writer, Friday is less important than it used to be as the end of the working week. On any day, Garth may generally be found near Coogee Beach, in Sydney, where he and his family live.
