I stumbled across Skulduggery Pleasant (SP) on Friday night. What a find! Skulduggery Pleasant is the brilliant creation of Irish playwright Derek Landy. Mr. Landy has successfully completed two books of a planned nine book series. These unique novels are almost impossible to classify. They have elements of horror, comedy, mystery and sci-fi genres. Our protagonist has been described as a well-dressed living-dead wizard-detective. His charming sidekick and partner is twelve-year-old Stephanie Edgely. The stakes are nothing less than to save the world! These are books that might tweak the interest of reluctant readers. I suggest you visit the Skulduggery website. Click here to see an awesome video that's embedded into the SP site.

Drat. I have to think about this one again? (I think there is a sequel.) I considered it until page 163 or so, when there was the sentence "The gap was gaping. It was a gaping gap." I just couldn't.
I'm checking out your web site and blog because I am thinking of adding a "boy" section to my own blog. Being a "girl", I need all the help I can get.
