Skulduggery Pleasant is the first book in the Skulduggery Pleasant series. Confusingly enough, Skulduggery Pleasant is also the name of one of the main characters in this book. Skulduggery Pleasant is a live skeleton; he has died but his bones and life still remains. When Stephanie Edgley's uncle dies, she attends the reading of the will. Every member of the family shows up - and one mystery person that no one knows anything about - Skulduggery Pleasant. When she meets him and realizes that he is a living skeleton she receives a big surprise. However, when she finds out about what he does for a living she is flabbergasted. Skulduggery Pleasant teaches her magic so that they can destroy the evil magicians.
I really enjoyed this book because I found the idea of an "undead" hero quite funny. It is an enjoyable read; it's fun to read about the adventures of Stephanie and Skulduggery as they fight the evil to bring peace back. People who enjoy science fiction will enjoy this!
