Most memorable so far... 
I'm currently reading Sir Thursday, and I have read Drowned Wednesday a long long time ago. But even so, I still remember what happened in the book quite clearly. I don't really remember Tuesday at all! Drowned Wednesday was memorable because it was innovative and fun. This whole serious is pretty good.

Great Imagination, Very Good Book To Read 
In Drowned Wednesday, Arthur has major problems to deal with. It doesn't get any easier for him. Arthur has to rescue his friend, Leaf, from pirates. Find the Third Part of the Will and get the Third Key from Drowned Wednesday. Also, Arthur must free the Will's followers that are trapped in Wednesday stomach and deal with a new enemy name Feverfew. It seems so much for a boy to deal with, but Arthur handles it, always with a bit of relunctance - at least, to me.
The character I liked the most, of course, was Suzy. She came later into the book and with a surprising entrance, but she did not disappoint me. I felt sorry for Drowned Wednesday. Just reading about what she did during her meeting with Arthur, and how she couldn't help herself, I felt so sad for her. It was jaw dropping, almost horrifying how she had no control over her hunger for food. The character I do not like the most is Dame Primus, but she wasn't in this book, only mentioned. I do not trust Dame Primus, even though, Arthur has made her in charge of the first two keys. I'm sure I may be wrong, but I feel as though Arthur has given the Will too much.
Overall, I liked this big sea adventure that Garth Nix created. It was a lot of fun to read, and the imagery was well written. I had no confusion as to what was going on. It is one of my favorite books out of the Keys To The Kingdom series that I've read so far.
Thanks.

parental advise
This series gets better with each book. The book has a scary feeling but remains positive in outlook. The character's are well conceived and well rounded.

Drowned Wednesday is WONDERFUL!!!!
Drowned Wednesday, the 3rd book in The Keys to the Kingdom series, by Garth Nix, is a fantastically original read. (It is the 3rd book in the series, so you do have to start with the first book in the series, Mister Monday.) The characters are very well developed, and it is just as exciting as the previous books in the series. This book is a great blend of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Adventure that you will not forget! I can't wait to get my hands on the 4rth one in the series!
Plot: Along comes Wednesday, and Arthur Penhaligon knows that soon enough he will be summoned back to The House to deal with Lady Wednesday, the third Morrow Day. Unfortunately, when a giant ocean wave comes to do the job, his friend Leaf is with him, and she is forced to come along for the ride.
Arthur and Leaf will have their fair share of adventure this Wednesday: Leaf is mistook for Arthur and picked up by a ship with fluarescent green sails, leaving Arthur afloat alone in the ocean until he is picked up by a ship full of rather incapable 'Salvagers.'
Along with his salvager friends, Arthur will narrowly escape the wrath of Feverfew (a horrible pirate), Learn of the fall of Lady Wednesday, and her transformation into Drowned Wednesday, and eventually be found by Wednesday's Dawn, who takes him to Wednesday herself.
There he learns of how he must find the 3rd part of the Will, and save Wednesday from her horrible fate, A process which will not be easy! But he will be aided by friends old and new, so he might just make it!!
Read this great book to find out what happens!
