The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman


In my quest for monster and vampire books, I found The Graveyard Book. Nobody Owens is the protagonist of the story. I haven't finished it yet, but Nobody is being raised by the "people" who live in the graveyard. How could that happen? Gaiman did a great job in making the impossible sound plausible!

This is an award winning book. Here is a synopsis from the card catalog:

"Nobody Owens is a normal boy, except that he has been raised by ghosts and other denizens of the graveyard." And a link to the book's site--very intriguing! http://www.thegraveyardbook.com/
