Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy
4.0
This was recommended to be by one of my middle schoolers who LOVES the series and can quote entire paragraphs!!
Skulduggery Pleasant follows a young girl named Stephanie after the death of her uncle. In his will, her uncle leaves her his entire fortune and property. At the reading of the will, Stephanie notices an odd looking man with a hat, sunglasses, and scarf on (that he does not take off even inside), and she notes that it is strange. After she inherits her uncle's house, she visits and that is where the madness starts. She finds out that there is magic in the world, and the man at the reading of her uncle's will is actually a living skeleton named Skulduggery Pleasant, and he is a magical detective.
One of the best things about this book is the quippy dialogue between Stephanie and Skulduggery (and some other cast of characters). Lots of jokes & very humorous for middle school readers!
