Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy


I listened to this book while driving to and from work. If you have never listened to an audiobook, this is a great one to start with. Each new disk begins with eerie music. The narrator does a superb job of distinguishing the voices of the characters and getting just the right tone of voice in their conversations. Skulduggery is a walking, talking skeleton who befriends 12-year-old Stephanie and introduces her to the world of magic, secrets, and power. There is a bit of violence and rollicking good fun. Pick it up if you want a light read that will keep you entertained and absorbed.
