Story
A terrorist doesn't let strangers in her flat because they might be undercover police or intelligence agents, but her children bring their mates home and they run all over the place. The terrorist doesn't know that a kid has bugged every room in her house, cloned the hard drive on her PC, and copied all the numbers in her phone book. The kid works for Cherub. Cherub agents are aged between ten and seventeen. They live in the real world, slipping under adult radar and getting information that sends criminals and terrorists to jail.

Story
Nicholas Flamel is the greatest Alchemyst to ever live. The records show that he died in 1418, but what if he's actually been making the elixir of life for centuries? The secrets to eternal life are hidden within the book he protects - the Book of Abraham the Mage. It's the most powerful book that has ever existed, and in the wrong hands, it will destroy the world. And that's exactly what Dr. John Dee plans to do when he steals it. There is one hope. If the prophecy is true, Sophie and Josh Newman have the power to save everyone. Now they just have to learn to use it.

Publisher's Summary
“So you won't keep anything from me again?"
He put his hand to his chest. "Cross my heart and hope to die."
"Okay then. Though you don't actually have a heart," she said.
"I know."
"And technically, you've already died."
"I know that too."
"Just so we're clear."
Stephanie's uncle Gordon is a writer of horror fiction. But when he dies and leaves her his estate, Stephanie learns that while he may have written horror, it certainly wasn't fiction.
Pursued by evil forces intent on recovering a mysterious key, Stephanie finds help from an unusual source – the wisecracking skeleton of a dead wizard.
When all hell breaks loose, it's lucky for Skulduggery that he's already dead. Though he's about to discover that being a skeleton doesn't stop you from being tortured, if the torturer is determined enough. And if there's anything Skulduggery hates, it's torture… Will evil win the day? Will Stephanie and Skulduggery stop bickering long enough to stop it? One thing's for sure: evil won't know what's hit it.
Critic Reviews
"The balance between humour and danger is well handled in Derek Landy's fun, fast-paced fantasy." (The Guardian)

Love the Humor
I started listening to this based purely on Rupert Degas narrating then someone told me it was a kids book. Regardless I loved it. The humor is very dry and it was well written and Rupert is so gifted, I listen to him narrate a phone book. Good light listen.

I absolutely adore this book
Out of all of the books I think this is the funniest. I have no idea why ai find it so funny. It just is, I completely agree with Stephanie I could listen to Skullduggery’s voice all day.
I have only gotten up to Kingdom of The Wicked and then stopped after I got to Carol’s chapter cause I know sje ends up dying. I have a very much loved copy of Playing With Fire.
I absolutely love the blurb on the back of the frist book. Its the best. This was a wonderful book and I love it and will very likely read it many more times in the future.

Great read love the narration
I loved the narrator of this book. I've already read the whole series, but the audiobook is a different experience. I'd recommend Skulduggery Pleasant to younger and older readers alike, although as the series goes on the books do become more mature, kind of like Harry Potter does.

well written and very well performed
Rupert Degas has a very good range of European accents and voices not to mention an extremely pleasurable voice to listen to. It was beautiful to hear a story i loved as a 10 year old come to life. I highly recommend it
