As a 7th grade teacher I have discovered that Garth Nix's Keys to the Kingdom series is a fabulous read aloud for my students. The suspense and amazing imagination that Nix uses draws the students in and keeps them hooked from page one. I noticed that my students often began reading book two before I was done reading book one because they were so anxious to find out what happened to Arthur!  I would recommend this book for anyone who values the amazing capabilities of the imagination. Mr. Monday allows you to get wrapped up in a world that is both strange and familiar and is a wonderful reading experience
