"You see, I don't believe that libraries should be drab places where people sit in silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of employing wild animals as librarians."--Monty Python

STAFF PICKS--Skulduggery Pleasant

Karyn's Pick:  Skulduggery Pleasant, by Derek Landy (YA)

Synopsis:
Meet Skulduggery Pleasant, Ace Detective Snappy Dresser Razor–tongued Wit Crackerjack Sorcerer and Walking, Talking, Fire-throwing Skeleton—as well as ally, protector, and mentor of Stephanie Edgley, a very unusual and darkly talented twelve-year-old. These two alone must defeat an all-consuming ancient evil. The end of the world?
Over his dead body.

Karyn says:  Action-packed and full of magic, not to mention a walking, talking, fireball-throwing skeleton!  Audio book especially recommended--narrator is great!
