SKULDUGGERY PLEASANT BOOK PB

When twelve year old Stephanie Edgely inherits her uncles estate, she doesnt expect it to come complete with a hit man bent on killing her, a hidden key to a powerful ancient scepter, a gateway to a world of magical crime-fighting, and a partnership with Skulduggery Pleasant. Soon she and her skeletal sidekick are involved in high-speed chases, vampire beat-downs, and all sorts of grimy, nasty business-all while keeping up a spirited witty banter worthy of Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant. (If, you know, Cary Grant were a skeleton and ... well, you get the picture.)
