I ran into this book because of my mom. I wasn’t interested, but once I picked it up I found out that Derek Landy is a fabulous author. This may seem like a girl’s book because of the main character, but it’s action-packed and witty. Stephanie’s life is changed when a walking, talking skeleton named Skulduggery breaks down her door and introduces her to a world of magic. It’s not like she didn’t want to go. They face terrible danger, but you’ll laugh out loud as Skulduggery jokes his way through attempts on their lives and sinister plots to bring back the evil Faceless Ones. In this book, you’ll meet things that should only belong in nightmares and magic that should only belong in dreams. Once you pick it up, you won’t set it down until you’re done. I promise.

I have never heard of that book…but it sounds very interesting
I might have to check it out. I just recently finished reading the Twilight series, and cant find another book to match it’s perfectness(if you know what I mean). I will have to see if we have this book in the library…sounds fun.

Kaj,
It is so cool to hear from you. I have shown some of your writings and pictures to some of my classes. You are an excellent writer with a hint of great humor. It sounds like you are having the time of your life. We are working away at math and glad to have the WASL behind us. Try to bring some math facts back for us to enjoy. We miss you. You have a new seat when you get back. You will be at a table with Anthony, Josh and Oliver. Take Care and keep up the gallant effort on your blog. Mrs. Gilbert
PS
Say hi to your mom!
