Editorial Reviews

After their Border Sea adventures, Arthur and Leaf return home, but there is no rest for the weary. Apparently, Arthur can't even get through the Front Door. Somebody or something has stolen his identity and taken over his life. But before he can get his bearings, our young hero is whisked off to join the Glorious Army of the Architect. An elegant, action-packed adventure series.

Gr 6-8-The week just gets longer for Arthur Penhaligon in this fourth book in the series. After Drowned Wednesday's submission of the Will and her subsequent death, he is tricked into joining Sir Thursday's army as they fight a large group of Nithlings in a shifting maze. To complicate matters, Arthur must serve as one of the Piper's children, unable to use his powers as the Heir of the Will. Back on Earth, a Nithlin, disguised as Arthur, is infecting mortals with a plague that controls their minds. Old characters return, including Suzy and Leaf, to help Arthur in the fight against Thursday and his denizens of The House. Nix's new addition to the series is a good continuation of the story, covering two plots at once, with each chapter providing cliff-hangers. While the events move a little slower than in previous installments, there is satisfaction in the resolution, and, of course, a lead-in into the next addition, Lady Friday. Reluctant or "hard to fit" readers will find this series enjoyable, as Nix is able to create vivid pictures in the minds of his readers. Fans of the fantasy genre will appreciate these books for their strong continuity, believable characters, and edge-of-your-seat-action. This offering complements the series' well-established structure.-Richard J. Snyder, Inglewood Junior High School, Sammamish, WA Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
