About Resurrection

The skeleton detective is coming back to life… again! It’s the tenth, triumphant novel in the Skulduggery Pleasant series, and it will rearrange your world. Skulduggery and Valkyrie are back in the tenth instalment in the bestselling Skulduggery Pleasant series – an incredible and unexpected treat for the legions of fans around the world. We can’t say much but we can say this: Skulduggery and Valkyrie are going to team up with beloved characters from the first 9 books as well as an all-new cast, including new teen co-star Omen Darkly, for an adventure that takes the story to truly global proportions… while answering questions that go right back to the beginning. And Derek says this: “I was halfway through Last Stand of Dead Men, I think, when I realised that I had more stories to tell. I told myself that if Skulduggery and Valkyrie survived the series, I would leave the option open of returning to their world. There were still secrets I need to reveal, after all, and there were still horrors they had to face. They survived the first series. But they’re really going to wish they hadn’t.” Reviews “A high-intensity tale….Readers, particularly Artemis Fowl fans, will be skipping meals and sleep to get to the end.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Utterly charming…perfect for the Potter crowd.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Rich fantasy that is as engaging in its creative protagonists and villains as it is in the lightning-paced plot and sharp humor.” — BCCB “Landy keeps the action brisk, his characters slightly macabre, and uses humor to take the edge off.” — ALA Booklist “Skulduggery Pleasant serves up a thoroughly satisfying blend of humor, magic and adventure. Once you’ve met Stephanie and Skulduggery, you’ll be clamoring for a sequel.” — Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson series About the author Derek Landy lives near Dublin. Before writing his children's story about a sharply-dressed skeleton detective, he wrote the screenplays for a zombie movie and a murderous horror film. "I think my career-guidance teacher is spinning in her grave," he says, "or she would be if she were dead."
