Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy JFIC Fantasy

No bones about it, this book was AWESOME! If you like magic, action adventure, comedy and mystery this book is for you. Stephanie Edgerly has recently come into an inheritance from her uncle the writer. When she begins to take an interest in his rather odd friend, Skulduggery, she learns about a whole magical world that is going on around her. Stephanie must decide whether she wants to go back to her normal twelve year old life, or help Skulduggery as his partner detective. Skulduggery was a great character. Did I mention he is a living skeleton that can shoot fire? COOL! He's tough, smart, rebellious, and funny just like Stephanie. It is a great book for 5th grade and up.

Food for thought: If given the chance for a life of danger, magic and monsters, would you take it?
