Skulduggery Pleasant

He had no eyes and he had no face. All he had was a skull for a head.

Skulduggery Pleasant written by Derek Landy is a humorous read that I thoroughly enjoyed. It is  targeted at a younger audience however I would recommend it to anyone and everyone who likes drama and a good laugh. It was full of all the good things a little action here, a sprinkle of adventure there and a whole lot of fun everywhere else.® A gripping tale of two friends struggling to fight an ongoing battle that may or may not save humanity.
