Keys To The Kingdom

Author: Nix, Garth

Seven days. Seven keys. Seven virtues. Seven sins. One mysterious house is the doorway to a very mysterious world -- where one boy is about to venture and unlock a number of fantastical secrets. This is another thrilling, triumphantly imaginative series from Garth Nix, the best-selling author of THE SEVENTH TOWER, SABRIEL, and LIRAEL. Garth Nix in his Abhorsen, tells the chilling story of a girl's search for her father, a search that will take her into the very heart of death's realm. The Keys to the Kingdom is a very different sort of tale, a wild adventure that spans the very fabric of space and time.In this tale, an 11-year old boy accidentally becomes master of the universe and wild adventures proceed. With a rich, slightly weird world and great cast characters, this is a fantasy series that every kid will love. The world is extremely imaginative and the writing is superb.Fans of imaginative fantasy (especially fantasy that merges the fantastical, magical word with the familiar world) will find plenty to love about this series. It's a non-stop adventure that gets more interesting and gripping the further you get into the series. There's a bit of a dark, gritty edge to the series too. One of the best young adult / children's fantasy series currently out there and one that can certainly be enjoyed by the adults tooLess dark than the Abhorsen trilogy, this children's fantasy series is great for adults and kids.
