Skulduggery Pleasant, a review by Linda


Skulduggery Pleasant, by Derek Landy (ages 10-12)

Stephanie is twelve years old when she meets Skulduggery Pleasant at her uncle's funeral. Dressed in a long coat and wide-brimmed hat, he is actually a skeleton- and a detective! He helps her escape from strange men who pursue her, and they become partners in a magical journey against ancient evil. There's lots of fun and humor, along with exploding bodies and mad car chases. There are three titles in the series so far- the next two are Playing With Fire (I just read and also recommend) and Faceless Ones.
