Middle Grade Book of the Week: The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman

Summary

Bod is a living boy being raised by ghosts. There are many dangers living in graveyard. There’s the Sleer and a desert of ghouls just to name a few. But, the real world is even more dangerous for Bod. That’s where Jack is, the man who killed Bod’s parents.

My Thoughts

I love how Gaiman can create books with such dark premises so funny. This is a perfect example. Here’s a book that opens with the murder of a child’s parents, yet it’s filled with love and humor.
