This is the 6th installment of the series. The story is a blend of two worlds, Earth and The House. Arthur is our hero of the story, having successfully gathered five of the wills and keys. But the stakes are even more dangerous. And Superior Saturday is coveting Lord Sunday's incredible gardens. With the help of Suzy, one of Piper's Children, he must sneak in guise as a rat till he can take on the form of a Piper's Child himself. The problem is that under the influence of the keys, he's losing his human nature and becoming more like the superior being's of the house. The author does an amazing job of fleshing forth the complexity of the duality of this opposite nature. Arthur no long is just trying to claim the keys but now working towards saving The House. It's a strange little world that Nix has created, but he makes it work and the world is so different it haunts you long after you put the book down. This series is great for grades 6-12. My high school students are reading these books. The books was copyrighted in 2008 and is timeless.
