I highly recommend this book, it's great! It's full of action and humor, and it's complelty original. It's about a girl whose writer uncle dies and leaves her a fortune. Unknown to her, she also inherets a great deal of trouble which draws a strange, completely covered man, who is not at all what he appears to be. That man, Skulduggery Pleasant, turns out to be a "wise cracking detective, powerful magican, master of dirty tricks, and bulgery (in the name of the greater good of course). Oh, and he's dead". That was taken from this site, http://www.skulduggerypleasant.com/us/ so it doesn't belong to me.

Anyway, it's a really good and enaging book, so you should read it.
