Our Kids Reader Review have been following the series since day one, and this is what Hugh (then aged 11) said of the very first book - "One of the best novels I have read. The first book in the series sees Skulduggery and his sidekick, 12 year old Stephanie, join forces to solve the mystery surrounding the sudden death of Stephanie's uncle Gordon, a writer of horror fiction - a fiction that seems to have seeped into real life. 15 books, two series and a clutch of additional publications later, Skulduggery Pleasant continues to entertain, enthrall and petrify his faithful fans.Ī hugely original and funny fantasy, the skeleton magician Skulduggery is urbane, sophisticated, well dressed and, as you might guess, dead.
