Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy
Stephanie Edgley’s uncle had just died and she must attend the reading of the will. There, she meets Skulduggery Pleasant, a snappy dresser who was friends with her uncle. After finding she had inherited her uncle’s fortune, she decides to spend the night in her uncle’s old home. There she is attacked by someone, but saved by Skulduggery. It turns out her beloved uncle was murdered! What’s worse, now they’re after her! Not to mention they have powers! The only chance she’s got is to team up with Skulduggery Pleasant, a walking skeleton, and save the world. If you like Percy Jackson, Vampirates, or any action/ sci-fi books, it’s time to read Skulduggery Pleasant.
