Stephanie led a pretty quiet existence until her uncle died. Not only did he leave her his mansion, he left her a new best friend-Skulduggery Pleasant, a skeleton detective (sorry, a supernatural skeleton detective)-who waltzes into her life for keeps. Now she's acquiring magical powers, endangering her life to fight evil, and trading snappy comebacks with something without a body. More
