The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman

4.0

This book won the 2009 Newbery Medal. It was based on a young boy named Nobody Owens. His family was killed when he was just a toddler, but he escaped to a nearby cemetery where the spirits took him in as if he was their own. They gave him special powers so that he had free reign of the graveyard and he could come and go as he pleased within its gates.returnreturnUnfortunately, the man that murdered his family is still out there and is still looking for Bod.returnreturnThis was a cute story, with cozy ghosts and witches. It took me a little while to get into it, but it was a very fast read and worth the time if you're looking for something quick and light.
