These books above are all written by Garth Nix.
They are known as the "Keys to the Kingdom."
They tell a story of a young boy of around 14 years of age, who finds himself locked between two worlds, his own and The House. He must decide which path to choose, who to save and he must defeat Lord Sunday (not shown above).
Aurther finds himself becoming a Denizen (a person who only follows another to their death - and dosen't have a mind of their own). He must not tell anyone about this, and he finds it very difficult not to. His best friend is a girl called Suzy Turquoise Blue (who has a frog in her throat), Leaf and her brother Twig (he calls himself something else) and Prime.
Aurther's job is to find the part of the Will, and find the Key. In each book, the characters grow more strong and Aurther finds it harder and harder. The Will was split into seven parts (one to each of the Day's) and the Keys were also split.
Each of the Day's also have a problem. Mister Monday is mental, Grim Tuesday is thirsty for blood, Drowned Wednesday is under the sea, Sir Thursday wants to kill all of the Piper's Childern (read the books to fin out! If I tell you, I would give too much away!), Lady Friday takes to souls out of people, Superior Saturday rules the whole House and Lord Sunday could care less!
Mister Monday, Grim Tuesday, Drowned Wednesday, Sir Thursday, Lady Friday, Superior Saturday and Lord Sunday, are the best books that I have ever read! I would recommend it ot anyone who loves a bit of adventure, and loves to be (sometimes) confused in the mind!
Have fun reading!
P.S. Have I still not convinced you? Look at each of the covers, whatever that person is holding is the key! You will have to read them to find out more!
