Playing With Fire by Derek Landy

Shes twelve. Hes dead. But together theyre going to save the world. Hopefully. The second book in the bestselling Skulduggery Pleasant series.

“A high-intensity tale…Readers, particularly Artemis Fowl fans, will be skipping meals and sleep to get to the end.” 
   — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“Utterly charming…perfect for the Potter crowd.”
   — Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Rich fantasy that is as engaging in its creative protagonists and villains as it is in the lightning-paced plot and sharp humor.”
   — BCCB

“Landy keeps the action brisk, his characters slightly macabre, and uses humor to take the edge off.” 
   — ALA Booklist

“Skulduggery Pleasant serves up a thoroughly satisfying blend of humor, magic and adventure. Once you’ve met Stephanie and Skulduggery, you’ll be clamoring for a sequel.”
   — Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson series

Derek Landy lives near Dublin. Before writing his children's story about a sharply dressed skeleton detective, he wrote the screenplays for a zombie movie and a murderous horror film. "I think my career-guidance teacher is spinning in her grave," he says, "or she would be if she were dead."
