He has his arch enemy, Skulduggery Pleasant, chained up in his dungeon, and the only person who is coming to save him is the skeleton detectives 13 year old sidekick.

Skulduggery Pleasant

"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
