Adventurous, hilarious, and extremely witty. The whole concept of a skeleton detective and his spunky twelve-year-old sidekick is brilliant. I’ve loved this series since childhood, and I reread Skulduggery’s adventures every few years for the laughs and because this series stirs the imagination. I would recommend this series to anyone (young or grown) who loves a dash of mystery, magic, and sharply witty comebacks.
