Synopsis

Meet Skulduggery Pleasant: detective, sorcerer, warrior.

Oh yes. And dead.

The Necromancers no longer need Valkyrie to be their Death Bringer, and that’s a Good Thing.

There’s just one catch. There’s a reason the Necromancers don’t need her any more – because they’ve found their Death Bringer already, the person who will dissolve the doors between life and death.

And that’s a very, very Bad Thing...

About this title

Review:

“A high-intensity tale....Readers, particularly Artemis Fowl fans, will be skipping meals and sleep to get to the end.” 
   ― Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“Utterly charming...perfect for the Potter crowd.”
   ― Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Rich fantasy that is as engaging in its creative protagonists and villains as it is in the lightning-paced plot and sharp humor.”
   ― BCCB

“Landy keeps the action brisk, his characters slightly macabre, and uses humor to take the edge off.” 
   ― ALA Booklist

“Skulduggery Pleasant serves up a thoroughly satisfying blend of humor, magic and adventure. Once you’ve met Stephanie and Skulduggery, you’ll be clamoring for a sequel.”
   ― Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson series

About the Author:

Derek Landy lives near Dublin. Before writing his children's story about a sharply-dressed skeleton detective, he wrote the screenplays for a zombie movie and a murderous horror film. "I think my career-guidance teacher is spinning in her grave," he says, "or she would be if she were dead."
