Skulduggery Pleasant
Launch into Derek Landy’s propulsive fantasy-noir as a fearless skeleton detective partners with a street-smart teen to uncover dangerous plots, eerie magic, and unlikely alliances. This opener introduces Skulduggery’s wit, Valkyrie’s courage, and a world where danger wears a dryly funny smile.
