YouTube star Amazing Phil explains what he loves about his favourite children’s book, Skullduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy.
He gives an overview of the story, in which twelve-year-old Stephanie inherits her uncle’s estate and discovers the horror books he wrote were partially true.
With her uncle’s friend Skulduggery Pleasant, the wise-cracking skeleton of a dead magician who can throw fireballs from his hands, she sets out on an adventure.
Phil reads one of his favourite extracts, and animation brings the character of Skulduggery spookily to life.
Phil explains that he loves the characters of both Stephanie and Skullduggery, and all the unusual people they meet throughout the story.
He shares his love of horror stories, which make him feel excitement and danger from the safety of his home.
This clip is from the series Bringing Books to Life.
Suitable for Key Stage 1 in England, Wales & NI or 2nd Level in Scotland.
