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."" www.skulduggerypleasant.com
""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
