Playing with Fire (Skulduggery Pleasant # 2)
By Derek Landy (May 6th 2008, HarperCollins)
Valkyrie Cain - once known to the world as twelve-year-old
Stephanie Edgley - has learned a great deal since beginning her apprenticeship
to Skulduggery Pleasant, the well-dressed, living-dead wizard-detective. But
she hasn't learned nearly enough to defeat the horrors massing against her and
her friends: An old foe of Skulduggery's, Baron Vengeous, is bent on bringing
back to life the horrible Grotesquery - an unkillable monster assembled from
the most fearsome beasts of legend.
It's up to the ingenious, fearless, and quick-witted Valkyrie
and Skulduggery to stop the Grotesquery from coming fully to life. Because once
the thing is alive, it will call to its masters, the evil Faceless Ones who
return will mean the end of the world.
