Skulduggery Pleasant is a skeleton detective, in that he is literally a skeleton who detects, and works alongside Valkyrie Cain as the agents of “The Sanctuary”, the headquarters for the magical epicentre that is Ireland. But just to clarify, here is a little background. Looking at the picture of the book cover above will tell you much about this series with its vivid renditions of magical looking beings and fire balls coming out of hands, etc. The series of books by Derek Landy following the adventures of Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain are just such books and Death Bringer is book 6 in the series and the one that we have both most recently read. We discuss plot and favourite characters and it is nice to have a common interest – he’s not really into crafts. I like fiction for teen readers, probably because it is easy to read but fundamentally, because it is something that I can share with my eldest.
