Arthur doesn't think he will ever have to return to the strange house that nearly killed him on Monday—the house that contains an entire world. But Tuesday brings new challenges—in the form of an enemy named Grim Tuesday, who threatens the well-being of both Arthur's family and his world. Arthur must retrieve the Second Key from Grim Tuesday in order to save everything—an adventure that will include stealing a Sunship, surviving a very weird work camp, befriending a bear-like spirit, fighting the void-like Nithlings, and traveling in the scary Far Reaches for the ultimate showdown.

The second book in The Keys to the Kingdom series is another treat for young fantasy enthusiasts. The youthful hero, Arthur, has barely returned to normal life on Earth after saving the world on Monday. He awakens on Tuesday to the dreadful realization that he must return to the mysterious Kingdom, not only to restore balance in the crazy netherworld, but also to preserve his family and real life. Reader Allan Corduner enriches the saga of Arthur's weird challenges as he attempts to retrieve the Second Key from Grim Tuesday. Corduner voices the imperious tones of the Kingdom's authorities as believably as the tentative bravery of the schoolboy conqueror. N.M.C. 2005 YALSA selection (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine
