Drowned Wednesday by Garth Nix is the third book in the Keys to the Kingdom series. Arthur is a human who has been drawn into the bizarre world of the House and has beaten Mister Monday and Grim Tuesday. Now he is taken back into the House with a broken leg where he finds himself among pirates and ships and lots and lots of water. Drowned Wednesday has turned into a whale due to her insatiable appetite. She asks Arthur for his help and he finds himself being chased by Feverfew the pirate, dealing with talking rats, exploring a world contained in a whale’s stomach and much more. This series continues to be amazingly inventive, fun to read, and a joy to share with kids. Recommend it to those who like the Artemis Fowl series and other fantasy.
