[FINISHED] 4pm | The Skeleton Detective Talks! Live Book Chat and Q and A with Derek Landy

November 21, 2020 4:00 pm
Cost: €5 per family
Until 5:00 pm
AGE 9+

Note: This event is from a previous year.
Please visit this year’s festival programme for the latest 2021 events.

Breaking News! Derek will be in conversation with book guru David O’Callaghan. David is Children’s and Young Adult Book Category Manager at Eason and runs DeptCon – Ireland’s biggest YA fiction convention. 

Derek Landy’s festival events and book signings are legendary. He takes time to chat to every reader he meets in the exceptionally large signing queues and to answer their many questions about his books and his characters. He may not be able to sign in person at the moment, but he intends to answer as many questions as he possibly can during this live event for his fans. He may also show them some of his amazing movie memorabilia. If you have a Skulduggery fan in the home, this event is a must!

A live, interactive event, delivered digitally.

Skulduggery Pleasant: Seasons of War

War is coming. To avert catastrophe, Skulduggery and Valkyrie are sent on a secret mission that takes them away from everything they know, to a forsaken land of magic and grim, unrelenting terror. It is here that Valkyrie will have to fight the hardest — not only against the enemies who want her dead, but also against her own self-destructive impulses. It’s only by crawling through darkness that she’ll be able to once again stand in the light…

And my favourite #picturebook this year is the amazing #BeWildLittleOne by Irish author @Hopewrites and illuminated by the marvellous art of @DanielEgneus. It's a definite #IrishBooks recommendation for #BookElves2022. A perfect gift for little readers - and not-so-little ones! https://t.co/1zjERJ3FRO
