This book is definitely for a younger-age reading audience. Those who like supernatural stories will probably like this one. It is definitely a little quirky! The book was humorous and the characters were engaging. I wouldn't say it is my favorite though. Younger teens will like the wacky humor and the way in which the characters have special powers. I think they will also be interested in the fact that this book has sequels. If they like the first one, they will perhaps like to read the next novel.
The work addresses gaining independence from parents, developing a new understanding and outlook on the world and redefining yourself and beliefs. While these were all included in the novel, I would say that the point of the book was to entertain, not to teach readers any sort of moral or life lesson.
Obviously, the characters can only be as believable as a walking and talking skeleton can be. I thought that the girl, Stephanie, was endearing and believable. She was a heroine that both females and males could relate to.
I think I would probably promote this book by introducing Skullduggery Pleasant. He is really an intriguing character and I think students would want to read the book after being introduced to him.
