Mister Monday

The Keys to the Kingdom, Book 1

De: Garth Nix

Narrado por: Allan Corduner

On the first day, there was mystery.

Arthur Penhaligon is not supposed to be a hero. He is, in fact, supposed to die an early death. But then his life is saved by a key shaped like the minute hand of a clock.

Arthur is safe - but his world is not. Along with the key comes a plague brought by bizarre creatures from another realm. A stranger named Mister Monday, his avenging messengers with bloodstained wings, and an army of dog-faced Fetchers will stop at nothing to get the key back, even if it means destroying Arthur and everything around him.

Desperate, Arthur ventures into a mysterious house - a house that only he can see. It is in this house that Arthur must unravel the secrets of the key - and discover his true fate.

The first audiobook of a spellbinding series by Garth Nix, the author of The Seventh Tower, Sabriel, Lirael, and Abhorsen.

Re-enjoying the story a new way

I am a fan of this series, read the books when I when I was a kid. Now I'm enjoying the story again with these great audiobooks.

great and intriguing book

brings you in with a great hook and then brings you on an adventure that you won't forget!

loved it!

This book was a childhood favorite of mine, and Allan, the narrator, brought it to life! deforestation worth a listen!

excellent

great story. excellent reader. i could listen to it many times. this is a classic.

so creative and gripping

i read this because of how much i loved Sabriel. And although i didn't enjoy it nearly as much, i still thing it's fantastic. A great introduction to a world that is mesmerizing and original. i can't wait to read the next one!

Can’t wait for the movie

Great book and great performance by the reader. Hope Hollywood makes a faithful film adaptation someday.

great listen

loved it. awesome reader. the voice inflections and tones were too good. would recommend this book

Pronounciation

Um, I really don't think that's how you pronounce "turquoise." Just a minor nitpick really, the rest of the missing stars is basically because this is my least favorite volume of Keys to the Kingdom.

Love these books!

This is an amazing series! I read them a few years ago in high school, never had a chance to finish all 7 books, so I got the first book Mister Monday here on audible and remembered just how much I love this book! I can't wait to listen to the rest of them!
