PRAISE FOR THE SKULDUGGERY PLEASANT SERIES:
‘This is a writer at the height of his powers and Landy is getting better with every book . . . Whatever your age, read them and enjoy the ride’ Irish Independent
‘Skulduggery Pleasant serves up a thoroughly satisfying blend of humour, magic and adventure’ Rick Riordan, author of the PERCY JACKSON series
‘Fast and funny’ The Times
‘A fast evolving plot and a great mix of scariness and humour’ Sunday Express (5 stars)
‘Hugely enjoyable – a thrill-a-minute adventure’ Jonathan Stroud, author of the BARTIMAEUS TRILOGY
Derek Landy is the author of the internationally bestselling Skulduggery Pleasant series. He doesn’t like to brag about all the awards he’s won, such as the Irish Book of the Decade, or the Red House in the UK, or all the other awards that he humbly displays on his mantelpiece. He is also far too modest to mention things like the first book being a Publisher’s Weekly Best Book of the Year, but would like to extend an invitation to Oprah to pop around one day for tea, in thanks for selecting his book for the Oprah’s Book Club Kids Reading List. Derek plays too many video games, reads too many comics, and watches too many movies. He lives in Ireland with too many cats and too many dogs. Occasionally he talks to real people, but only when he absolutely has to.

I was truly blessed to hear this book read aloud by the author herself. As a teacher, I have to give Refiloe five stars as she held those six year old's in the palm of her hand. If any of you know children, you know they have the concentration of a flea! The children, however, were spellbound, for just under a hour. When I reflected back on how successful the author's visit was I realized, it was the content of the book that captured their hearts. Every child could relate to one or other theme that was addressed in this beautifully illustrated book. If truth be told, it was also magnificently presented. Refiloe is a dynamic orator. Many more schools need to have her books on their library shelves and allow her to grace them with her presence.
Overall, "Atomic Habits" is a must-read for anyone looking to understand the science of habit formation and make lasting changes in their behaviour. Clear's insights and strategies are applicable to individuals in all walks of life, from students and professionals to athletes and entrepreneurs.
