ReadingTub said: Gordon Edgely, a world-renowned author of mysteries and the macabre, is dead. Uncle Gordon bequeathed his mansion and wealth to his 12-year-old niece, Stephanie. When Stephanie heard rumors that Uncle Gordon did not die of natural causes, she decided something needed to be done. On the day of her uncle’s funeral, she met Skulduggery Pleasant, ace detective, Gordon's friend, and a walking, talking, skeleton. Together, they will work on the case and put those rumors to rest. This is the innaugural title in this fantasy adventure for pre-teens.
The author knows his audience, young teen readers, and the topics that they enjoy reading. Skulduggery Pleasant is a fast paced, macabre, adventure story. The enjoyment and tone of the work is created and sustained by the sparkling repartee that permeates the entire work.
