Derek Landy is the creator of the bestselling, comic and action-packed crime/horror/fantasy adventure series about smart-talking skeleton detective Skulduggery Pleasant and his erstwhile schoolgirl sidekick Valkyrie. The first book won the Red House Children’s Book Award, the second, Playing with Fire, was the Irish Children’s Book of the Year, and the sixth, Death Bringer, is now out in paperback. Landy is coming all the way from Ireland to talk about his own adventurous life, and the inspirations behind the series.
