Derek Landy lives near Dublin. Before writing his children\'s story about a sharply-dressed skeleton detective, he wrote the screenplays for a zombie movie and a murderous horror film. \"I think my career-guidance teacher is spinning in her grave,\" he says, \"or she would be if she were dead.\"

”'A high-intensity tale….Readers, particularly Artemis Fowl fans, will be skipping meals and sleep to get to the end.'” - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

”'Utterly charming…perfect for the Potter crowd.'” - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

”'Rich fantasy that is as engaging in its creative protagonists and villains as it is in the lightning-paced plot and sharp humor.'” - BCCB

”'Landy keeps the action brisk, his characters slightly macabre, and uses humor to take the edge off.'” - ALA Booklist

”'Skulduggery Pleasant serves up a thoroughly satisfying blend of humor, magic and adventure. Once you’ve met Stephanie and Skulduggery, you’ll be clamoring for a sequel.'” - Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson series
