The Keys to the Kingdom #7 Lord Sunday Garth Nix (Allen&Unwin)This is it ... the final title in the wonderful and all-consuming Keys to the Kingdom series. From the moment I read the first page of the first title I was hooked. Each of the preceding titles has been unputdownable and Lord Sunday continues that heritage.
Now Arthur, with six of the seven keys has to defeat Lord Sunday and assume the position as rightful heir to the kingdom. But are the six keys enough? Can Arthur defeat Lord Sunday, the last of the trustees, as Nothing sweeps the house? And what will holding all seven keys reveal? The conclusion to this series is just amazing!
For kids (young and old) who like strong reads with fantastically developed characters and intriguing plot lines - this fantasy series is sure to hold them. It really has been the most delightful series to read. Yep ... I really loved this series!

Worldshaker Richard Harland (Allen&Unwin)There is a huge iron ship sailing the world - over land and sea. The Filthies on the lower decks provide the labour that operates the vessel while the upperclass live a grand life on the upperdecks (going to school, resting, having holidasy - all on teh vessel of course) and never the two societies shall meet. But when one of the Filthies escapes to the upperdeck, and is soon assisted by Colbert, the assigned heir who will one day be Supreme Commander of the Worldshaker to bring up other Filthies from the lower decks, the 'world' order becomes unsettled and rebellion ensues.
This book is littered with twists and turns and adventure throughout these pages. Loyalty, betrayal, friendship, family, trust, cruelty, and rebellion are all part of this riveting fantasy read. Once I got into this, reading was hard to stop!
Enjoy these great new fantasy titles.
