When Stephanie Edgley's uncle passes away, she inherits his house as well as his friendship with Skullduggery Pleasant - a skeleton mage who also happens to be a stylishly dressed detective. Working together, they fight against an evil sorcerer to solve the mystery of her Uncle's death and protect the world. Landy has created a fantasy adventure that is action packed and full of supernatural characters. He keeps the tone light with the witty banter between the two main characters. Tom Percival uses line drawings to illustrate the cover and pictures in this story. The smiling skeleton on the front of the book takes the edge off what could be seen as a macabre character. This magic detective story has a simple theme of good versus evil that will keep readers ages 11+ and the young at heart reading to the end and then through the remainder of the series.
