The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman

3.0

---

A fantastic read for adults and children alike. Gaiman takes the story of the jungle book and re-imagines it into a macabre tale of murders, ghouls and supernatural happenings. Most of the story is seen through the eyes of Nobody 'Bod' Owens, our young protagonist who grows up in a graveyard filled with ghosts and their various interesting personalities. But Bod is soon to learn that growing up with the dead isn't nearly as dangerous as the world that lurks outside the graveyard gates. I couldn't put this book down after I started reading!
