Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy

3.0

Middle grade action adventure urban fantasy— what’s different about it is that the main character is chaotic good (as opposed to lawful or neutral), and the action keeps going—Action is not one deft moment or the casting of a spell or two—but rather a series of punches and bullets fired and fireballs thrown and bodies slammed, etc. Not really a heart/feelings/do the right thing book—though it has its moments. Mostly nonsensical world building but whatever. My ten year old loves the series.
