The Graveyard Book

Neil Gaiman  

Where would you go if your family were taken from you in the night? Who would take you in? You wouldn’t bet on it being the kind gathering of ghosts who occupy the graveyard just a few streets away, would you? There’s so much to learn from ghosts, and so many abilities to perfect, so its a good thing Bod finds his place among them. Especially with the danger he faces ahead. Enthralling characters and an engrossing yet brutal plot, it goes without saying Neil Gaiman is an expert story teller. He has an explorative and beautiful use of language which allows for such a visceral read.
