Skulduggery Pleasant

What do you do when you find out that a fire wielding skeleton is the good guy?

This is the Irish response to the Harry Potter series, but with a darker sensibility and the sense of humor only the Irish have.  A 12 year old girl finds out that all the books that her uncle wrote about a world of magic that goes unnoticed by the normal world are based on the world inhabited by our skeleton, Skulduggery Pleasant.  Adventure awaits, with a large dose of humor and sarcasim to balance the darkness.
