Blurb:
Four of the seven trustees hav been defeated and their Keys taken, but for Arthur Penhaligon, the week is still getting worse. His friends have been captured by the Piper, and the Nex Nithling army still controls most of the Great Maze. Meanwhile, Superior Saturday is causing trouble wherever she can, including turning off all the elevators in the House and blocking the Front Door to prevent escape.
Amidst all this trouble, Arthur must weigh an offer from Lady Friday that is either a cunning trap for the Rightful Heir, or a golden opportunity he must seize before Superior Saturday or the Piper beats him to it. The race to find the secret of the Middle House is on - and Arthur is in the thick of it.

This book is on it´s way to LittleF along with a whole bunch of other books. Enjoy reading them!
Thanks for sending the book - the package I just got from the mail office. I'm looking forward to reading the book! :-)
Edit 2011-06-24:
Finally I got the book done - Lady Friday is a strange character, but a mere flat one ... It was partly fault of the book it took me so long to get read, I was also quite a bit busy.
The book will soon be on its way to the next reader.

The book arrived safely yesterday. Thank you.
Since I work crazy hours at the moment it will probably be one or two weeks at least before I can get to it (I have to finish 2 library books first).

I liked this one better than the last one, but the premise is wearing a bit thin nevertheless. I'm still quite impressed with Garth Nix`imagination and the amount of detail he put into this world of his, but the plot of the books is basically always a repetition of the last one. Arthur himself seems less and less like a young boy and I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the idea that anybody could grow up this much within a week (even though house-time runs differently).
This book arived home safe and sound.
