Thanks for your message. The first thing I have to say to you is that there’s a world of difference between Bob Skinner and Skulduggery Pleasant. The second is that while it’s been a long time since I had a twelve-year-old, if I had I’d be holding back for two or thee years before I introduced her to Bob. Your 17-year-old though, he’s a candidate, not least if his cultural influences are drawn from video games. That said, in a way I envy him; I’d love to look at that world, but I have two problems with it, those being generational and time.
