The Graveyard Book

by Neil Gaiman

Nobody Owens—Bod to his friends—seems like any other boy. Except that he lives in a graveyard, raised by ghosts. Among the tombstones, Bod learns strange and magical abilities: how to vanish, how to terrify, and even how to walk through dreams.

But danger isn’t just found among the dead. In the world of the living, a man named Jack is still hunting Bod… and he’s more dangerous than anything that haunts the night.
