Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy

4.0

Stephanie had a special bond with her Uncle Gordon. It's at the reading of his will that she meets his friend Skullduggery Pleasant and learns that Gordon left his house to her. The real question (emphasis on quest) is whether that is all Stephanie has inherited from Gordon... Be sure to bring your sense of humor to this party: a story filled with monsters and magic, a battle between good and evil where it isn't always easy to tell the good guys from the bad.
