From School Library Journal
Grade 5-8 -This third volume in the series also marks its hardcover debut (with simultaneous reissues of the first two books in hardcover). Arthur is in the hospital, recovering from the events of Grim Tuesday (Scholastic, 2004) and trying to explain things to his friend Leaf while apprehensively awaiting the "transport" promised in Lady Wednesday's invitation. His fears are more than realized; the ship from the House takes Leaf but leaves Arthur adrift on the Border Sea. He finds temporary refuge on a buoy-but it's a treasure marker for the dreaded once-human pirate Feverfew, and Arthur is marked as a thief and is in mortal danger. He is rescued by a comic bunch of salvagers from Wednesday's domain, and from them Arthur begins to understand that Wednesday is very different from the other Days he has met. Moreover, she has become a monstrous but tragic leviathan. Seafaring adventure follows; Arthur must elude Feverfew even while breaking into his stronghold, a bubble of the Secondary Realms concealed in Wednesday's stomach where Leaf and hundreds of denizens enslaved by Feverfew are held captive. Feverfew is the real villain here, and Arthur is finally accepting (albeit reluctantly) that he must be a hero. This is another great entry with a cliff-hanger ending. It doesn't stand alone, but it's a must-have for anyone who has the first two entries in this well-crafted, exciting series.-Karyn N. Silverman, Elizabeth Irwin High School, New York City

Arthur Penhaligon, reluctant heir to the kingdom, returns to face the third Day. After dealing with Mister Monday and Grim Tuesday, Arthur is surprised that Drowned Wednesday needs his help. Lady Wednesday, trapped in the body of a behemoth whale, is willing to surrender the third key to Arthur in exchange for his conquering the villain Feverfew. This story of pirates, a talking carp, and plenty of Nothing is up to par with the first book in the series. Allan Corduner delightfully presents the myriad of creatures with a mix of formality and whimsy. He does a masterful job with the dark characters and subtle humor of this imaginative fantasy.
