Skulduggery Pleasant

Landy, D. (2007). Skulduggery Pleasant. New York, NY: HarperCollins Children's Books.

After the death of her Uncle Gordon, Stephanie meets a mysterious man that introduces her to a life very different from the one she has known. After realizing that her uncle had been murdered, she joins with Skulddugery Pleasant to uncover what really happened. They find that Gordon had kept the key that would lead Serpine, an evil sorcerer, to the Scepter that would unleash the Faceless Ones into the world. Through a series of magical adventures, Stephanie and Skulduggery bring an end to Serpine's evil plot. In his book, Landy brings to life to Skulduggery Pleasant, a very unlikely character. However the interaction between the two main characters, keeps the reader interested through out the entire book. The dialogue, humorous at times, and the magical world Landy created make this book fun to read.
