A middle grade book tackling the topics of death, grief, and growing up, Neil Gaiman has beautifully woven these themes together into a short tale that is both spooky and hopeful, as is characteristic of his middle grade works.
A great introduction into Gaiman’s books, every chapter felt like it’s own short story featuring the same characters and a thin narrative thread, rather than one 8-chapter book.
We watch as Nobody Owens is adopted by the ghosts of the graveyard, and grows up before our eyes, learning to stand up for himself, and making some friends along the way. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Gaiman book without spooky characters chasing after young Bod…
It’s fun, short, sad and uplifting. Will definitely be going back to Gaiman’s books, and I’m excited to try out some of his more adult novels
