Fan CastingSkulduggery Pleasant (2007)

When 12-year-old Stephanie Edgley inherits her eccentric uncle’s estate, she expects dusty books and maybe a ghost story or two—not a walking, talking skeleton detective named Skulduggery Pleasant. But when dark forces come hunting ancient secrets, Stephanie is pulled into a hidden world of sorcery, shadows, and things that definitely go bump in the night. With Skulduggery as her unlikely guide—equal parts suave, sarcastic, and seriously undead—Stephanie steps into a world of elemental magic, ancient grudges, and secret wars. Reborn as Valkyrie Cain, she must unlock her own hidden power before a madman brings about the end of everything. Full of razor-sharp banter, explosive magic, and noir-tinged mystery, Skulduggery Pleasant is a supernatural adventure where the line between life and death is just the beginning.
