Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy
Skulduggery Pleasant is the first in a series of nine books.
Twelve-year-old
Stephanie Edgely was surprised when she was asked to attend the reading
of her recently deceased, extremely rich, uncle Gordon’s funeral; and
she was even more surprised when he left her his mansion and fortune.
This is only of the beginning of the strangeness that is about to turn
Stephanie’s life upside-down. At the reading of the will, Stephanie
meets a very peculiar man by the name of Skulduggery Pleasant. She is
even more shocked to discover exactly how peculiar he is a few days
later when he saves her life from a fire-proof psychopath who breaks
into her uncles house while she is there alone. Skulduggery is a
walking, talking, skeleton detective and sorcerer who has an incredible
wit and an ego the size of the Pacific Ocean. After some convincing on
Stephanie’s part, Skulduggery takes her on as his apprentice. Stephanie
is transported from her mundane, small-town life to a world of sorcery,
magic, and danger. She soon takes on the wicked-cool moniker of Valkyrie
Cain.
Do not read this book unless you can handle sequences of intense violence.
