\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

BIG NEWS<\/strong>: On 15th August Derek Landy will be coming to Booktopia to sign books<\/em> <\/strong>and to chat with fans on the Booktopia Facebook page. He will be in Australia promoting his new book…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Kingdom of the Wicked<\/h2>\n

Magic is a disease.<\/p>\n

Across the land, normal people are suddenly developing wild and unstable powers. Infected by a rare strain of magic, they are unwittingly endangering their own lives and the lives of the people around them. Terrified and confused, their only hope lies with the Sanctuary. Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain are needed now more than ever.<\/p>\n

And then there’s the small matter of Kitana. A normal teenage girl who, along with her normal teenage friends, becomes infected. Becomes powerful. Becomes corrupted. Wielding the magic of gods, they’re set to tear the city apart unless someone stands up against them.<\/p>\n

Looks like it’s going to be another one of those days…<\/p>\n

Ages: 9-12<\/p>\n

Joel, Age 12<\/strong>
\n“I would give this book 10\/10 and would advise everybody young and old to read it. It is such a compulsive page turner it will be finished in about 2 days.”<\/p>\n

Chloe, Age 11<\/strong>
\n“With vampires and monsters it’s not the type of book I would normally read but I enjoyed every word and was glued to the book. It has an interesting and original story line that sometimes had me rolling around laughing and at other times had my heart racing. I really hope that there are more Skulduggery books to come and if there are I’ll be first in line!”<\/p>\n

Max, Age 12<\/strong>
\n” This book had me on the edge of my seat throughout the story. I think that is because of the fast paced action, the funny jokes that Skulduggery made & a curiosity of him and his world.”<\/p>\n

About the Author<\/strong> :\u00a0Derek Landy lives near Dublin. Before writing his children\u2032s story about a sharply-dressed skeleton detective, he wrote the screenplays for a zombie movie and a murderous horror film. \u2032I think my career-guidance teacher is spinning in her grave,\u2032 he says, \u2032or she would be if she were dead.\u2032<\/p>\n
