Cosmoe was an adventure-seeking 13-year-old orphan back on Earth, until the strange night he was yanked into space. Now he's got all the adventure he craved and more aboard the Neon Wiener--part spaceship, part food truck--selling their trademarked dish of 'Galactic Hot Dogs'.
Cosmoe and his friends are serving up the wildly popular wieners at food competitions across the multiverse, until they run into some trouble. Princess Dagger, a half-evil, half-awesome princess manages to kidnap herself onto their ship and suddenly her all-evil mother is gunning for the Neon Wiener.
The friends travel the galaxy, driven by Cosmoe's oath to "fight space-jerks in all their many forms," visiting strange planets, battling alien monsters, dodging space pirates, and making the galaxy a better place--all while perfecting the recipe for the perfect hot dog!

READ BY RUPERT DEGAS. It's the fourth Skulduggery Pleasant adventure... only Skulduggery Pleasant himself is lost on the other side of a portal, with only some evil gods for company. Can he possible survive? (Yes, all right, he's already dead. But still.)
What can we say, without giving too much away?
Not much, is the answer.
But what we CAN say is that this book is hilarious, it's tense, and it's packed with all the eye-popping action, crackling one liners and imaginative set pieces you've come to expect. There's a new threat to our plucky heroine, of course. But that's not all. There's also the little fact of the Big Bad, the uber-baddy who's going to come along and really, really destroy the world. (Really.) And what we learn about that villain in this book will literally make your jaw fall off and your hair go white with shock. (Not really.)
Will Skulduggery make it out of the Faceless Ones' dimension? Who knows. The problem is, he may not have much to come back to...
Tough. That's Freddy Martinez and his friend, Cara. They're not afraid of anything. But that was before they went exploring in Freddy's basement. Before they found the secret room. Before they found the bottle of Vampire Breath.
Poor Freddy and Cara. They should have never opened that bottle of Vampire Breath. Because now there's a vampire in Freddy's basement. And he's very, very thirsty....
