Lady Friday by Garth Nix

Description: Friday is here! This is the fifth eagerly awaited installment in Garth Nix's best selling fantasy series, 'The Keys to the Kingdom'. Arthur Penhaligon's adventures in the House get ever more perilous as the week unfolds. On the fifth day, there was fear...Four of the seven Trustees have been defeated and their Keys taken, but for Arthur, the week is still getting worse. The Piper's New Nithling army controls most of the Great Maze and Superior Saturday is causing trouble wherever she can. Arthur can't even find out what is happening back home. All he knows is that Leaf isn't on earth any more. She's missing - and so is her family, along with Arthur's mother, his brother, Eric and hundreds of other people who were transferred from regular hospitals to a private institution run by a 'Doctor Friday'. Amid all this trouble, Arthur must weigh up 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.
