Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy
5.0

Stephanie is just an ordinary 12-year old until her uncle dies. In his will, he leaves her his vast fortune and the house he had made his home for many years. A friend of his, always in a long coat, hat, and sunglasses, makes her curious as to what her uncle was involved in.

But then one night she is attacked in her uncle's home and she discovers a world full of magic that she must now enter to save her life.

This book is funny, action-packed, and impressive in the way the story unfolds. Stephanie, however, seems much older than 12. A good recommendation for Harry Potter fans.
