Description of this Book
Third bone-breaking, belly-busting adventure in the series that puts the funny back in! um! funny series. That didn't really work, did it? If you've read the previous Skulduggery books then you know what the Faceless Ones are -- and if you know what the Faceless Ones are, then you can probably take a wild guess that things in this book are going to get AWFULLY sticky for our skeletal hero and his young sidekick. If you haven't read the previous Skulduggery books then what are you doing reading this? Go and read them right now, so that you know what all that stuff in the previous paragraph was about. Done? Good. So now you're on tenterhooks too, desperately awaiting the answers to all your questions, and instead you're going to have to wait till April to get hold of the book. Sorry about that.

| NZ Review |
Praise for The Faceless Ones: A fast evolving plot and a great mix of scariness and humour 5 star review, Sunday Express Hard-boiled detective wisecracks mixed with magic. The Times Fast and funny The imes A magical mystery that grabs you from the first word and doesn't let go, not even when you're finished, and leaves you gasping for more like a fish out of water. Terrifyingly good! First News The third book in this hilarious series featuring the skeleton detective will set the kids' spines tingling! Asda magazine |

Author's Bio
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.
