The Graveyard Book


The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman J GAI—This book is about a boy named Nobody Owens who is adopted by a very nice ghost couple after his family has been murdered.  He is raised in the graveyard and learns everything from reading to fading.  But he cannot leave the graveyard because someone is out there waiting for him and he will not be safe until he is grown.  His guardian, Silas, is a strong, silent type who answers Bod’s questions and helps educate him.  There are friends and enemies along the way, and though it is unconventional, this is a story about growing up.
