Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy – review

'I would recommend this book to readers who like fantasy and adventure because it is packed full of both.'

Skulduggery Pleasant is a skeleton, a detective and a Mage. He starts to train his new sidekick Stephanie when her uncle dies and leaves her his house and its contents. The series is set around the 'Sanctuary' in Dublin, where magic is kept hidden from the public while trying to stop evil from taking over the world.

This book was brilliant. I liked Skulduggery because he is a skeleton detective and he is so funny but sometimes very serious. I liked the part of the book when the house was being broken into and Skulduggery jumps through the window and defeats the criminal.

I would recommend this book to readers who like fantasy and adventure because it is packed full of both. It was an easy read but has lots of hard names to remember!I give this 5/5 stars because it is so good!
