Skulduggery Pleasant - A must read!

It’s rare these days that I find a book that I adore. One in which the characters become people I wish I could have lunch with and the plot grabs my attention refusing to let go. Rarer still is a mystery in which I am lead up to something and do not see it from 90 pages away.

 Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy is such a book. It’s the story of an ordinary, though sharp tongued, young woman who teams up with a skeleton detective to save world. I loved it! Intrigue, adventure, wonderful people (and skeletons), evil bad guys and a few things I didn’t see coming. Who could ask for more?
 
This is the first of what is currently a four book series written at a middle school aged audience level. I’ve not (yet) read the others. And the internet sites tell me that a movie is in the works. I’m a bit nervous about this…too many great books have become not so great movies.
 
Still, if you’ve not read it… come check it out!  (And if you have read it - we'd love to hear your opinion!)

I have a copy in my to-read pile at home. After your description I can't wait! I'm hoping the kids in the book club will want to read this one!
