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
