The Graveyard Book

Nobody Owens, also known as Bod has been living in the graveyard, raised and educated by ghosts after his real family has been killed. This book is packed with endless stories about Bod's adventures in the graveyard. He has met a human girl called Scarlett which he finds her a great companion besides the other ghosts. Together they explore the different parts of the graveyard, while Bod would tell Scarlett whatever he knew about the inhabitants of the grave or tomb and she will tell him about the world outside, about cars, aeroplanes,television and buses. One day they decided to explore a mausoleum under the hills which said to content treasures hidden by the people before the Romans came. Suddenly, a slithering noise made Scarlett half gasp half wail, without seeing anything Bod knew there was trouble....

******************************************************

But in the land of living a another danger lurks among the darkness; it was the same person who killed his family and now he wants to kill Bod too. Now, can his master save he as he did last time when Bod was taken to jail? or will Bod die the same way as his parents did?

A absolutely captivating story written by Neil Gaiman. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a little fantasy and danger to read about. 'The Graveyard Book' deserves a rating 9 out of 10.
