Mister Monday is by Garth Nix. It is the first book in the Keys to the Kingdom fantasy series. Arthur's school year is not going well. First he has an asthma attack during which a mysterious man gives him a key in the shape of a clock; a sleeping sickness seems to be sweeping the town; evil dog-faced creatures are trying to get the key back; and only he can see the strange new house in their neighborhood. He ventures inside the house, meets more characters (none of whom are what they seem) and battles Mister Monday for the key. If you are familiar with Nix's other books, this is more of the same. A strange tale that does not fail to draw you in.
Ratings: 7th grade - 8 out of 10.
