The Graveyard Book

The Graveyard Book

By Neil Gaimon

Oh my goodness, this is the most wonderful book. This is the story of Nobody Owens. After the sinister murder of his family, Nobody Owens is left all alone. With Jack, the murderer, close behind he toddles into a graveyard and thus begins his new life there. The residents of the graveyard all take a part in the education and raising of Nobody. As he grows up within the walls of the graveyard, he learns of things both living and dead. This is the 2009 Newberry Award book and the ending just might make you scream like a baby girl!
